If you are testing my program right now, please note, that it is not working properly because the blockexplorer.com api is unavailable at the moment...

thats a real and nice work. i usually had to open tab to open link of recent blocks mined . Is it available for download?
Above is a link to dropbox or google drive to download the latest beta version. The program isn't final yet. If it is final some day i'm going to upload it on a site for you to download it. Keep a look into this thread preiodically i'm going to upload new versions periodically.

Just came into my mind:
What do you guys think about the fact, that the announcement message is hidden with the new type of display too... What about putting this notification back into the upper left corner? Of course i'm going to add an option to disable this.

Some preview Screenshots:

(With the little rectangle klicked and mouse pressed)

What do you think about the black border around the window? Good idea?

Hope to see your updated version soon. Smiley
I'm sorry i missed the date i promised you... I'm busy at the moment. But today afternoon i'm doing the last changes and upload a new version. The V1.4 is finally going to get real Smiley I hope you like the new way of the display.

I'm sorry but as it looks right now the 15min delay in price notifications is not going to do it into the version from today. But the 1.5 is coming soon.

As promised i'm back into development today. I already began to program the new window that shows up. Here is a first look for you:

----SNIP----

(The white is only for demonstrating purposes. It's invisible afterwards)

I thought of a trigger in the top middle of the screen. If you hover the trigger it get's visible. If you then klick it the window shows up and if you leave the window it get's invisible again.

Do you think the trigger area is big enough?
What's about the click idea so you can't accidentally open it by hovering over it?
Or maybe it's better to display the window as long as you press down the mouse button on the trigger window and after that it's insible again?

The trigger area is absolutely okay ! I think the idea of "click and hold" after hovering would be much better than only hovering as someone might accidentally open the tab only by hovering instead of doing something else. So yeah ! It would be really great to implement that Smiley Keep it up dude ! Like your work very much Cheesy
Today or tomorrow i'm going to upload the new version for you to try it out. It has some small API improvements and should run more stable. Also the new display is added. And maybe there is a first version of a save options button. I'll have ro see how far i can get.

I found a bug, that if a block is found the age is not calculated right away. It may take some minutes. Can someone confirm that?

Thank you for your ideas.

When are you coming back after vacation?  Eagerly waiting for your new release Cheesy

As per another exchange requirement you can use either "virtex" or "hitbtc".

Here's an idea:
Make it so if you hold your mouse in the top left of the screen it pops out, because having this black text might not always be applicable and might not be visible on all pages, but with this method you can put a little transparent background on it Smiley
The idea is already submitted and i'm going to add it as soon as i'm able to develop the program again. I expect the next monday to be that date. After that i'm going to develop as fast as i can to get the program running and add all of your ideas.

To your suggestion: Nice idea,  ut it will be in the middle top of the screen because of the windows 8 features in the corners. I already have an idea. I only have to add it to the code.

I still need a third exchange... Some suggestions? BTCe?

Any plans to release the source code and make it open source?
Yes but this may take some time. First i want to get the product to the final stage and make another version for litecoin. Then i'm going to make it open source.

I don't get exactly what you mean with a slider? You mean if the cursor is in the corner the display fades in? I am not into Win 8 so i don't kno what you mean exactly.

Check how he's moving the cursor on upper right hand corner and how the start menu is hovering up on the screen after that => https://youtu.be/B4E0tC6Bj_M?t=39s  It would be great if you add this feature, like hovering upwards or leftwards (Remember to avoid doing it on upper left corner, lower left corner, obviously upper right corner and lower right corner because Windows 8 has certain functions on these positions! But you are free to add it anywhere in Windows 10 as there are no such features present and I have Windows 10 BTW Grin )
But where, when not the corners is the right spot to add it? Upper middle? Somewhere? Side seems a bad idea because of multiple monitor setups.
