On my E6-00 the font is just slightly bigger but definitely enough. Thanks. And the rearrangement of the share-buttons is great too.

Working, as long as I use the touchscreen. If I go back and press down (or up) on the dpad it jumps to the top of the feed.
Edit: my dpad is not working on the subscription view screen if I start gNewsReader the first time. But it is working as soon as I get back from a feed view.
Double post due to an error-message from the server, sorry.
Thanks for the feedback. as for the DPAD related issue the initial focus I though was fixed as it worked in simulator, was not able to test it on real device. Will add these 2 dpad realted items (maintain position fix for dpad and keyboard problem at startup) for next update.
Thanks yogeshwarp, 1.4 seems much more stable - hasn't crashed on my yet.
Just curious what the icon next to where it says 'open article in web browser' is, it doesnt seem to do anything that i can see. Also, what does the exclamation mark mean next to the subscription name?
Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback.
Icon next to open in browser is "copy url to clipboard" its there for all opera mini lovers as it can not be set as default browser and hence can not be launched from gNewsReader directly. The exclamation mark shows that unread only filter is active, if its not there all items are shown ( a shameless copy of Gravity UI )
Also do you still face unresponsive buttons in UI in landscape mode? I think kingofcomedy has also mentioned the same. No fix was put for it as I was unable to locate it but I suspect thats fixed by Qt 4.7.4 in my little testing I had done on E6 some time back.
Thanks for the reply.
Landscape mode seems to be working fine in this version, no problems at all to report so far. Will let you know if things change.

Yes, the buttons in landscape mode are working fine.
Thanks yogeshwarp! Excellent update! Now I'm enjoying this application even more!
I specially appreciated these changes that were included:
- maintaining position on the last read item;
- showing the full title on multiple lines;
- option for bigger font.
The application also hasn't crashed on my device.
One minor issue: it seems to stutter a little when scrolling list slowly (but smooth as before on fast scrolling). I'm using an N8, unbranded, PR1.2, software version 014.002.
Once again, congratulations for the great work that keeps improving!
Thanks for the compliments satellitebr.
Due to new styling there is chance of some slowdown in some cases will check out the issue mentioned by you. Thanks again
+1 what satellitebr said, scrolling not quite as smooth. Also, not sure if its just my imagination but the scrolling seems to stutter more when using the light theme.
ok one small clarification on stutter is it more pronounced on subscription screen (1st screen) as opposed to feed list (2nd screen)?
Hi yogeshwarp.
Stutter is more pronounced on feed list (2nd screen).
I agree with kaizenredbull that the scrolling seems to stutter more when using the light theme.
The font size seems not to affect the scrolling issue.
Tested on N8 after update to Symbian Anna, software version 025.007.
Always glad to help.
Mine seems to be more pronounced on the 1st screen, nothing major though, still very usable.
