New Plugin : Stocks

[mthornton]

New plug-in : Stocks - this plug-in retrieves information about the stocks you specify.

It is already possible to get stock data from the RSS plug-in, but I wanted more information than what the RSS feed has and wanted more control over displaying the data.

When pulling up the stocks, the data for each stock is retrieved in its own thread so the app is still responsive while waiting on the data.

The plug-in is very skinable. Everything about the look, colors, fonts, positions, shapes, etc. are pulled from skin file. Even the data displayed is configurable.

So here you go, enjoy.

Thats pretty cool. Good work. Do you have an account on wiki yet? If you dont let me know and I will post it on your behalf.

Possible enhancement a profolio you can specify how much of each stock you own and how much you paid and it tells you how much you have now. So I can watch the number each day.

No, I do not have a Wiki account. Feel free to post it, but we may want to wait a couple of days to see if any bugs are flushed out.

I like the portfolio idea. I will look into adding this in the future.

This looks great. However I have entered some incorrect symbols. How do I delete them?
