that would be nice, it doesn't work on the htc touch pro very well, when i'm viewing a feed, i can't scroll with the screen at all like other apps, the scroll bar is so small it's barely doable with the stylus. also, the options menu is really screwed up, very bunched

I haven't personally got a TouchFlo (Finger swipe) ROM on my device at the moment, but can you confirm it's only item view that doesn't seem to respond to finger scrolling or all areas of the program?

Presume your small scrollbar issue is likely due to the Touch Pro's higher screen resolution of 480x640 instead of WM standard of 240x320 for most previous devices. Obviously Sony Xperia X1 is pushing that to 480x800 (All measurements looking at devices in Portrait Width x Height) so maybe the scrollbars need to take the screen resolution into account?

Or maybe better to just have a 'Large Scrollbars' option added to the menu's that double's the normal size of them? That way even lower res users could choose to loose some screen space if they didn't have nails or want to get their stylus out.

Can also confirm that settings menu's can definitely get upset by anything other than 240x320 portrait resolution, as they bunch up or overlap options on my HTC Hermes if I try and change them while in landscape 320x240 mode.

the program doesn't work at all via touch scrolling, since so many devices are going this route, it seems only natural to adapt the program to this, and then scrollbar size is irrelevant

Thanks for confirming it's the whole program, I've just add a Poll with 'Finger Friendly' on the list of possible development priorities so I guess you might want to put a vote in for that
