Here are the perfunctory screenshots of Canto in action. Note that if you despise the theme being used you can change it. I know that some people don't like the blue/yellow contrast, or the magenta quotes in the reader.

Canto, standard How a typical Canto session might look with the default theme. Blue items unread, yellow read. Notice that the Politico feed is collapsed and the Damn Interesting feed is all read.
Canto, reader and links. This shot shows off the built-in reader. Notice the basic HTML formatting, the properly displayed mathematical symbols, and the links that are highlighting in green. The enumeration of the links at the bottom of the reader is toggle-able and from the reader you can directly go to each one of the links using your configured browser.
Canto = awesome UTF-8 This shot shows off the heavy Unicode support. Not only are Latin-like characters supported, but also multi-width CJK characters. All properly formatted like any other. Note: I have no idea what this says, I just use it to ensure everything is formatting properly
Canto, one column Another typical session, this time with a single column. You may have as many columns as you like, if your terminal is wide enough to support them.
Canto,collapsed With every feed collapsed, Canto provides you with a summary of how many unread items each feed has. Useful if you like to leave it open at all times.

Interestingly enough, the size of each one of the main screenshots is larger than the entire Canto codebase. Download it here.

You can see rudimentary screenshots of different theme possibilities on the style page. However, if you've achieved some neat effect with Canto, send me a screenshot and the config and I'll post it here.
