Thanks @shayne for this plugin, is nice to be able to track key stocks without logging into a service in the morning.
Some points I think could improve this is to make key info stand out more:
Ticker is nice and clear but this is static info so perhaps dominates the key display a little too much?
Price is good, but of equal or perhaps more importance when looking at a panel of stocks is daily change % (see point 3)
Daily change is the most relevant info here but is too small, I have to look closely to see what it is.
Personally I think % change is the only really useful change value on a small ticker display. For example a 10p/cents price change can mean something completely different for two different companies, for a small cap stock it may mean a 30% drop/gain, but for a large cap it could only be a 0.4% drop/gain. Whereas % change is equivalent across all stocks.
Ok if actual price change accompanies a % change, but % change alone is probably all that is needed on a ticker panel/button.
If I setup a panel of stocks and one day they're all down, but, say only one of them is down by 20% would be nice if that was clear to see.
