## Contribute Liferea Plugins!

Plugins are usually in Python3 and it is easier than ever to change
core behaviours of Liferea using plugins!

To get an idea how simple it is to modify or extend Liferea with 
a plugin have a look at "bold-unread.py" which grabs a handle to
the feed list and changes the visual rendering of feed titles.
