Rainmeter - Stockwatch Question

Derek W · 19 May 2009 at 21:14

Hi,

I've recently installed Rainmeter with 10foot HUD and the stock market watch. I've gone into the ini file for the market watch and it says change the URL for different RSS. Now on the site it gives as the default address http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/marketsummary/ it deals with the american markets. I've altered it so it reads the European markets http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/marketsummary/?region=300 but I'd like a mixture of them both. is that possible? :confused:

Can you duplicate the folder, rename it, input the desired settings and then select it from the Rainmeter configs menu?

The stockwatch outputs 4 market fields at the moment there are two visible two which aren't being recognised. I see what you're saying but I'd rather have 4 on one gadget rather than have two gadgets on my desktop showing the markets that I want.

Add this under URL=... in [Variables]

StockEU1="Global Dow"
StockEU2="FTSE 100"
StockEU3="Euro"
StockEU4="DAX"
TickerEU1="Global Dow EU"
TickerEU2="FTSE\-100"
TickerEU3="FTSE Eurotop"
TickerEU4="DAX"
URLEU=http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/marketsummary/?region=300

Then go straight to the end/bottom and paste this:

Then use replace the old bg.png file with this one

Hope that helps. I've got it working here, so if I've missed something and it doesn't work give me a shout

Sorry for the outrageous bump of this topic, but i didn't want to start another one on the same theme.....

Using the above script thing from othelios my Stockwatch has stopped working. I know I've got to change the urls to something to show the appropriate readings but I'm not sure what to change them to

can anybody help?
