It's unhealthy to get upset so easily. I actually read slocan's statement carefully. That's why I insisted on the point that there are cases where his decision of a big, unresizable widget is a step backwards.
No need of accusing other people of things you have trouble of complying with yourself.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
My initial idea was to make 2 widgets, one small, and one bigger, but then I figured whichever I'm not using would not be maintained as much and break at some point. I'll implement option 1, as detailed by ffarber, as that's easy to do, and maybe I'll add a size option (option to remove the arrow buttons, so making it slimmer). I'm not actually all that fond of the large widget either, but it's nice to see what's possible, what makes sense, and what doesn't.
For those who haven't seen the widget yet, there are a couple of screenshots here:

@tnhh: i'll also fix the feed update time, which is now set everytime an update runs, even if there wasn't anything new.

For me I'll still just pull out my reading glasses to read them in FeedingIt. It's a lot nicer to have them in the same place I read all my other news.

Note to anyone playing with the new widget: Even though changing from small to large and back again has a note saying a restart is required there is no need to restart the whole device; just delete the widget from your desktop and re-add it and it will resize appropriately.
Nice job Slocan!

Just one more tiny little request:
Could you set the transparency of the (small) widget to fit the other widgets and shortcuts?
It would look great and give the widget a "rounder" feeling to it. Thanks alot for considering!
