Version 11 of TclStock

Updated 2002-06-25 19:34:59

TclStock is yet another one of those stock ticker applets by Jason Tang. It reused much of the TclWeather codebase, hence the similarities in both design and appearance. It retrieves its stock quotes from NewsAlert[L1 ]. It doesn't have the fancy features needed to maintain a complete portfolio; it is intended to be a lightweight companion to TclWeather. The program was originally inspired by Tom Poindexter's TclTicker, but was quickly branched off to utilize the ticker widget I wrote for TclWeather. Here are some screenshots.

  • Here is a picture of the main tclstock, as taken from WinNT 4.0. It wasn't such a great day on Wall Street when I took this picture:

  • This image shows the first configuration tab where one may change, among other things, the font and scroll speeds:

  • Colors are customizable on the second tab. Left-clicking a stock name will pop up a window showing additional details about that company. TclStock is meant to be OS independent, hence the ability for the user to choose his browser.

  • (Not shown) TclStock is also aware of proxy servers.
