Gold Price Watcher

Gold Price Watcher is a handy little widget you can add to your desktop to keep an eye on the current gold prices. It's built on the Yahoo! Widget platform, making it super easy to set up and use. The widget pulls its info from Kitco.com, so you know you're getting reliable data.

Easy Installation and Setup

This widget has a simple interface that comes in a small frame. You can move this frame around your screen just by dragging it with your mouse. Plus, there's a cool option from the Yahoo! Widget Engine that lets the frame stay above all other windows. This way, you can quickly check gold prices while working on other stuff without any hassle!

Market Details at Your Fingertips

If you want more than just the current price, hover your mouse over the widget panel. You’ll see extra details like the highest and lowest gold values recorded and how they compare to previous prices.

Customize Your Widget

You can tweak the frame size or reconnect to Kitco.com if something goes wrong. It also allows you to reload the widget whenever needed. In the Widget Preferences, you have options to change how numbers are displayed and set how often it updates—super customizable!

Performance-Friendly

The best part? It doesn't slow down your computer! Gold Price Watcher uses very little CPU and RAM. However, keep in mind that it hasn't been updated in quite some time, so it might not work with newer operating systems anymore. Plus, since Yahoo! decided to discontinue their Widget Engine project a while back, it's something to think about if you're considering using this tool.

If you're interested in checking out Gold Price Watcher, you'll find it's an easy way to monitor gold prices right from your desktop!
