Great plugin!

This was exactly was I was looking for! What was missing, was a php function to directly call the plugin from any part of any template, so I wrote the author and he replied me immediately! Very very kind and great support. In case anyone else is intersted, here is the function you need to call from your template if you don’t want to use the plugin as a widget in your sidebar:

<?php
$instance=array('title'=>'Latest News','maxitem'=>5,'padding'=>5,'add_link_to_title'=>1,'show_content'=>1,'delay'=>5,'height'=>200,'scrollamount'=>1);
            $verticalScroll=new verticalScroll();
            echo $verticalScroll->widget($args=null,$instance);
?>

Thanx Nik =)
