Pop-up options include configurable size, position, transparency and duration. The pop-up windows will not steal keyboard or mouse focus from other applications.

Great program - installer apparently contains malware
CorwinPOADecember 26, 2015
Pros
Truly a great program - best rss feed program I've ever tried. However...see below.
Cons
The executable feed-notifier-2.6.exe, "Feed Notifier Setup " has been detected as malware by 41 anti-virus scanners. The program is a setup application that uses the Inno Setup installer, however the file is not signed with an authenticode signature from a trusted source. Infected by an entry-point obscuring polymorphic file infector which will create a peer-to-peer botnet and receives URLs of additional files to download. - herdprotect.com The executable feed-notifier-2.6.exe, "Feed Notifier Setup " has been detected as malware named Virus.Sality.Installer.

Summary
It appears the author hasn't paid any attention to his site for a couple of years, which is sad - going to contact paypal about his donate button, hopefully that gets his attention.
