News Junkie - Convenient News Access App
Description:
News Junkie offers a convenient alternative to browser bookmarks, providing one-click access to various news websites and allowing you to access some of the most popular news sources directly from the desktop.
Once launched, News Junkie runs in the system tray, displaying a two-part gray bar to the far left of the screen. This bar is actually a replacement for a 'silent' button in Windows, meaning that you can mute the volume instantly just by hovering over the darker part of it. Moving the mouse cursor over the lighter area restores the volume to the initial level.
The bar can be hidden if you don't want to see it temporarily or moved around and placed wherever you like. Nevertheless, you must be careful, as a single click on the system tray icon of News Junkie will restore the bar to its initial position, to the far left side of the desktop. This could be quite annoying, especially when a Windows voice starts telling you about the bar's new position every time.
News Junkie also enables you to customize the list of shortcuts, allowing you to add new websites to create personalized shortcuts for quicker access.

News Junkie offers quick access to news websites and volume control. Limited customization makes it less valuable than expected.
