Title: I made a simple price ticker for ubuntu
Post by: notmot on December 24, 2013, 10:05:51 PM
I made a simple / minimalist application for Ubuntu that shows the price every 30 mins (obviously you can change the amount of time).   
It uses the Ubuntu notification system to show the price according to bit averages. Not sure if there would be much interest but I thought I would share.

This may not be the best coded thing ever (I am only 13).

Good job, looks good :) I'm on Windows right now so I'll try later when I'm back in Linux.
Would this also work on XFCE or only on Unity?

I believe the notification system is separate from them but requires libnotify-bin.
If you don't have notify-osd you can just do sudo apt-get install notify-osd.
(as a note it will likely work on many other Linux distros just not natively)
