Great app, thx !

Pls add an option to show major market indicators, e.g. NASDAQ, S&P and DOW.

thanks, can you explain your idea? At the moment you already can add symbols for exchanges like ^IXIC, ^GDAXI, ^DJI, ^GSPC

@cinatic That'd be enough. However it shows wrong info in the taskbar on ubuntu

On click it seems working fine.

interesting indeed. exchanges @ yahoo do not have the full name field but only a, in some circumstances not accurate, exchangeName, e.g. ^GDAXI:

"currency": "EUR",
"symbol": "^GDAXI",
"exchangeName": "GER",

thanks for the report. I will add at least a fallback to symbol when no name is provided (#35) In one of the next releases also the entered name when adding a symbol can be optionally used (#29)
