Q1. Can I add more than one RSS feed at the same time?
No, you can add only one RSS feed at a time, this will scroll vertically in the site sidebar.
Q2. Can I change the Slide Direction?
Yes, 0=down-up and 1=up-down.

Yes, Click on the configure button (small down triangle) for the “Scroll RSS feed” widget and here you can customize all the Announcement front end styles. See screen two.
Q4. Why is my news content out of range?
In the front end widget area, if you see any news content out of the area or invisible, it is because of the height and width of the widget, so you should arrange the width and height of the widget in the widget configuration area. By default I have fixed width: 180px and height: 100px.
Q5. Can I change the scroll manner from vertical to horizontal?
No, This is not possible.
