The live example to the right, which is currently set to show stories from digg.com, is the default configuration... but it can be customized as you see fit.
The gadget's options may be overwhelming to some users since it requires entering HEX colors (i.e. 9F9F9F) and other html values. I wish Google allowed more flexibility in the preferences section for gadgets so I could make it more user friendly... Unfortunately, it may be too "down and dirty" for some users!
Enjoy!
