Yahoo Finance Cinnamon Desklet
Description
This repository contains the directory "yahoostocks@fthuin". You can download it and move it in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/
This will show (by default every 10 minutes) updated data from Yahoo Finance on your cinnamon desktop. You can choose which quotes you want to display in the settings by removing or adding quotes symbols.
This desklet was inspired by the stocks applet from adonut but it retrieved data from Google Finance API which is deprecated.
Tested with Linux Mint 17.2 / Cinnamon 2.6.13 (Fully functional)
