Version 0.7-3 has been submitted to extras-devel.

New in this version is the ability to change the widget size (which works really well in PR 1.2 and 1.3). When using a custom background style you can select to display 1-5 items. When you have more items than space you can scroll up and down as usual.

When using the system background it is automatically the same size as the RSS widget, since that is the graphic it uses.

Let me know if you find any issues. I am happy to actually update my packages again
