Stock Ticker Application Bar

Stock Ticker Application Bar is super handy if you’re a stock broker or investor. Keeping track of your shares’ current value is key, right? This application helps you do just that by showing you the quotes and stock values of various companies.

Always Visible Information

This app has a cool feature where it displays a sliding info bar at the top or bottom of your screen. The best part? Even if you maximize your windows, the ticker stays visible! This is perfect for those busy days when you want to keep an eye on stock information while working on other things.

Customization Limitations

Now, here's a little downside: the ticker bar can’t be resized. You can change the font of the scrolling data, but if you're hoping to use larger typeface sizes than 28 points, you're out of luck. Plus, there’s no option to change the background color of the ticker.

Data Sources Concerns

The settings menu shows two options for quote data sources labeled Server #1 and Server #2. Unfortunately, there’s no further info about these servers anywhere—not in the help file or on the developer's website. It would be nice to know where this data comes from!

No Extra Servers Allowed

You also can’t add any other servers for downloading stock data. This could be an issue for users looking for backup sources or just wanting more transparency about their information.

Alerts and Notifications

A neat feature is that you can set low and high limits for individual company stock values. The app sends notifications when those limits are reached! You can even choose which WAV file plays when an alarm goes off—pretty cool!

Final Thoughts

In summary, Stock Ticker Application Bar gives you access to stock values and quotes for companies you're interested in. However, it does fall short with limited customization options and vague data sources.
