I had an issue where the Headline text would overlap the the Category text, on the bulletin. If anyone else runs into this problem, I fixed it by adding the following to 000_Settings.rb:

  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Maximum characters per news category.
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  CATEGORY_MAX_CHAR = 10

And then changed line 99 in 004_BulletinBoard.rb from label_w = 90 to label_w = 12 * (LivingWorldNews::CATEGORY_MAX_CHAR + 1).

Then, you just set CATEGORY_MAX_CHAR equal to the longest category you have ("[BREAKING]" being 10, for example), and it will keep all the Headlines lined up, 1 space to the right of the longest Category.

If you don't care about them being aligned, you could ignore all that, and just change line 99 to label_w = bmp.text_size(cat_label).width + 12 instead, and then all headlines should be 1 space to the left of their own Category.
