What up...

I teach high school business and want to have my students install this. Testing on my machine first. When I change the number of stocks to 11 (or any number > 2), I still only see 2 stocks in the skin. I can edit the DOW and FTSE, just can't add more stocks, even when entering the correct symbols.

Any ideas? Likely a user error, I just need to correct it.

Thanks

Did you change CurrentNumStocks=11 in MarketPrices.ini or change NumberOfStocks=11 in StockSymbols.inc? You need to change the NumberOfStocks in StockSymbols.inc. Right-Click anywhere on the skin then select -> Edit Stock Symbols to change the NumberOfStocks to be displayed.

Hello, I am discovering rainmeter and the Market Price skin which I really appreciate. I try desperately to put the skin in transparent but without success. I tried to add BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1 under [Rainmeter] but without success. I can't find any reference to the background in marketprice.ini I don't understand?

Hello there. You first need to open the SkinVars.inc file (.\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\MarketPrices\@Resources\SkinVars.inc ). Go down to line 28 and change ColorBackGround=000000 to something like ColorBackGround=ff000001. The color is in Hex format and the last two digits are the transparency ranging from from 00 to FF.
