Gold Spot

Gold Spot is a handy little widget that keeps you updated on gold price movements right from your desktop. It pulls the info from Kitco.com, so you know you're getting reliable data. Plus, it’s super easy to install and set up, no matter if you're a tech whiz or just starting out.

Easy Installation and Setup

Once you've gone through a quick installation process, you'll see a small frame pop up on your screen. You can drag it anywhere you like using your mouse. It’s nice to have the freedom to customize its position!

View Currency Rates

This widget doesn’t just stop at showing the gold price; you can also keep an eye on up to three currency rates! You can tweak these settings in the Widget Preferences screen. And don’t worry about missing updates; you get to set how often it refreshes.

Quick Access to Financial Sites

If you want more detailed info, opening websites like Kitco, Oanda, Xenon, or Yahoo! Finance is super easy. Just right-click on the widget, and you'll find a menu that lets you open these sites in your default browser.

Customizable Options with Yahoo! Widget Engine

The Yahoo! Widget Engine gives you some cool options too. You can make the frame stay on top of other windows or let it sit behind them. Want it to ignore mouse clicks? You can do that too! Plus, there's an opacity setting so you can adjust how transparent it looks—anywhere between 20% and 100%!

A Lightweight Tool for Everyone

The best part? Gold Spot is lightweight and won't slow down your computer at all. It uses very little CPU and memory but still responds quickly. No worries about your system hanging or crashing with this tool!

With its simple design and ease of use, Gold Spot is perfect for anyone interested in tracking gold prices without all the hassle. If you're ready to give it a try, check out this link for download.
