      I also wanted to add that if you place the newsfeeds in the config, it also works better to place them in the js file as well. Not sure why, but I noticed that it does.
      So, wanted to pass that on.

      I am still working on getting a custom logo to show if one does not get pulled from the rss site.

        Take your time don’t worry. ;)

        In the meantime I am going to try too to put everything into the NewsFeeds js and see how things work.

        Update
        I saw no improvements by inserting the feeds straight into the JS. :disappointed_face:

          Sorry @justjim1220 I noticed only now that you removed the newsfeed ticker background in your latest screenshots.

          I would like to try that out and see if performance improves. :)
          How do you do that?

            In the css file, just change background-color: maroon; to background: none;
            can be done with the image as well, but that could make the image difficult to see.

              OK, thanks.

              Update:
              When not using a background then overall performance improves! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

                Although I am using the UTF-8 encoding for ALL of my newsfeeds accented letters (i.e é, à, etc.) and currency symbols (i.e €) are not displayed properly.

                Any idea why?

                		{
                			module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
                			position: "bottom_bar",
                			disabled: false,
                			//classes: "day_scheduler"
                			config: {
                			    feeds: [
                					{
                						title: "Hardware Upgrade",
                						url: "https://feeds.hwupgrade.it/rss_hwup.xml",
                						encoding: "UTF-8", //ISO-8859-1
                						className: "myClass",
                						defaultLogo : ""
                					}
                			    	    ]
                				}
                		    }

                  you might have better luck using encoding: "ISO-8859-15" or encoding: "ISO-8859-9"
                  The latter one is supposed to work best with European characters

                        So is there a way to use this without the scrolling function to ease up on CPU usage?
