Looks good to me, even with only 5% trans :shrug: But feel free to change it back to solid if it generates too much hate, or if it doesn't work on mobile/what-have-you.

Re: The Neu Mainpage: Discuss!
Ok, I added a bit of text shadow and I think it helps reduce the negative aspects of a partially-transparent background. I'll leave things as-is for the night and see what people think.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Re: The Neu Mainpage: Discuss!
Can wxLauncher parse RSS feeds?
It can't but if you make a format that is usable, it can be modified to work since we would need to release a new version to fetch the updates anyway.  What I am looking for is the most recent 5-10 headlines and the links to the topics.

Thanks,
