New version: 1.8.11

Hello everyone. Newest version is released just now and available for download from this site. What's changed? This version resolves bugs when used on localized versions of windows such as German and French.

If you had installed version 1.8.9 on an internationally localized system and you had a huge font program, please delete your "stocksTicker options.xml" from your documents folder, and install 1.8.10.

Update: Released 1.8.11 on 11/27/2014, fix opacity control visibility in options when Windows is set to higher text size customization.

Cheers!

  1. Superb little program... just excellent!
    One question, when I enter my personal list for stocks, the red/down - green/up function does not work.
    My list: TWEAX,CBLAX,GSZAX,JHFIX,PBSMX,TPINX,NARAX
    Not sure if it impacts, but I also have the ticker set to display on the 2nd monitor.

    1. Those look like mutual funds, for which Yahoo!Finance quotes do not include a current vs. close value. Your broker probably shows these values as green/red compared to two trading days prior.

  2. Yes, they are mutual funds,

    Two questions:
    1. Is there a threshold for color to implement? (i.e. 0.03% change before color)
    2. does color vary with the magnitude of change? (larger change = brighter color)

    1. The colors and thresholds are coded in. When the change is 0, color is gray, from there it gradients towards red or green depending on the magnitude of change
