This skin has been on Deviant Art for a few years. There has been an increase error reports and requests for modifications in recent times so I've decided to post it here where it is easier to reply with suggestions and snippets.

To get the ball rolling here are some clarifications on the UserAgent string and Symbols

A) UserAgent string --- As of February 2021 it doesn't seem to matter what you have as the UserAgent string. Everything works just fine with whatever you put there but it is best to put something (even "") just to be sure.

B) Symbols --- Find Symbols by going to http://www.cnbc.com then entering the stock/index name you want in the search box. When the page opens look in the top-left of the address window and make a note of EXACTLY what comes after https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/ if there is a Period (.) after the backslash (/) you MUST include it. or it will not work.

eg. https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.SPX --> Symbol3=.SPX

If there is no period (.) DO NOT add one or it will not work.

eg. https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/AAPL --> Symbol4=AAPL

As of January 2022 you can customize the stock/index labels and reduce the width of the first column.

Hi, I'm trying to edit the ini file so that the ticker fits in my taskbar and only include the price of the stock. To do this I would need a horizontal layout of 3 stocks max in a column. After some edits, I was able to get this setup, but unable to figure out how to split up the stocks to 3 columns and to delete the empty space on top after I removed the title/icon. Any advice/tips? Thank you.

Here is my current .ini file:

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

Yep! Preferably I would have it set to the same text size and white font color as the regular style so it can fit 3 stocks in a column on the Windows 10 taskbar with the transculenttaskbar skin. Pardon my bad Microsoft paint skills, but this is the endgoal for me:

How about this?

You can edit the font size, colours, spacings and a bunch of other stuff in the MarketPrices-Horizontal.ini file. Change HideColoredPrices=0 to HideColoredPrices=1 to toggle the up/down/steady colour for prices.

Hello, thank you for making such a nice skin.

I'm trying to make the background transparent. Could you tell me how to do that?

Edit: Nvm, I just deleted [QuotesBackground] and [InnerBackground] meters, and it's fully transparent. Don't know if that's the correct way, but it works. lol

No, that's not the proper way to do it. The proper way would have been to simply change the color of the background. The skin code already set the colors to partially transparent, so all you needed to do was make them fully transparent. To do that, on the meters you deleted, you just had to set the SolidColor options to "0,0,0,1" (which is "R,G,B,A" format) instead of "00000044" and "000000dd" (which are in "RRGGBBAA" hex format, a format that's a little harder to understand maybe).

That works! And thanks for the explanation.

Hi Mordasius. When I download the default skin I can't get any values to show. Gone through many trials and errors but only get null values. When I download this example code you made for someone it works just fine showing the correct values. I tried to even cross reference the new/old code to adjust but still no avail. I just want the default style to work, lol. I appreciate any help I can get to make it work.
