Hello Bitcoin friends =),

i have developed an desktop gadget for windows. It´s called "Altcoin Desktop Gadget" and the actual version is 1.8.
It displays the actual values from coinmarketcap for your selected coins, so you will never miss something Smiley

You can simply add the coins you want to display via the settings menu.
The buttons with the arrows will add or delete an coin. Up and Down moves the position in the list.

On the display settings, you can choose the currency, where the window is displayed and if you want that the background is transparent.
Be careful with this setting, on dark backgrounds this option looks not good.

If you set the always on top checkbox, after restarting the program you can move it around. It will save the position. You can only move it around if always on top is active.

You will get the menu if you click with the right mouse button in the top line where you see when the data was updated.
I wrote the program in german language and translate the most important things. It can be, that you will get some german text somewhere. Please let me know, i will change it in future versions.
The "Upcoming events" are in development, so you can´t click it in the menu till now.
All the files are in the attached ZIP file. You have to start the "Altcoin.exe". The "Helper.exe" is only used for restarting the program.
If you want, you can compile the program by yourself. I will attach the source code too. It’s written in autoIt.

I tested the program on windows 7. I do not know how it locks when using windows 10. It is for 86 or 64bit systems.

If you have questions or problems, i will try to help you out.
I share this program for free!
A small donation would be great Wink

Hey WUUEX79,

try it with the following settings.ini:

Quote
[coins]
;'name' beinhaltet Komata getrennt die einzelnen Coins.
name=bitcoin,ethereum,nem
[settings]
;'overlap' widget bleibt immer im Vordergrund
overlap=1
;'monitor' gibt an, auf welchem Bildschirm das widget dargestellt werden soll.
monitor=1
;'restore' bezeichnet die Position beim starten. restore=0 -> Obere rechte ecke des eingestellen monitors (1,2,3). Siehe 'monitor'
restore=1
;'posx', 'posy' speichert die Position beim beenden des Widgets. restore=1 -> dann wird es an 'posx' und 'posy' angezeigt
posx=100
posy=100
;EUR oder USD
currency=USD
;Background transparent
transparent=0
save=1

Now you shoud see it definitely. Regards

Very nice app actually, I've tried similar apps but I usually didn't really like the look of them.
The design of this one is really nice and blends perfectly in my background.

I've scanned it and found no viruses, ran it in a sandbox afterwards and didn't see anything weird.
