my pop up won't populate the price.

High is Green, Low is Red... I know there's a joke in there somewhere.

the whole rest of the screen could flash another colour at the same time for this - it's because what confuses me is that it flashes both one's high & low prices when only one of these has been met & whilst the colour shows wether it's the high or low I'm not used to just getting that yet

thanks for ur 2 btcs, thank goodness that there're not flashing 

Otoh, I kinda like the columns because sometimes I am further away from the laptop and it's easier for me to see.

Jut my 2 btcs.

I like the flashing green & red columns but would prefer just the relevant high or low price being made to flash rather than everything on each side top to bottom



to something like this instead:

I agree.  The alert runs foolproof at default setting, why let someone mess with that?

Stews right on this one.  i would never set it for longer than 10 and it doesn't help to set it lower than 10, so why have it?

you could stick some other control feature in that space like a turn off flash button.  it would be nice to turn off flash and sound while retaining the input alert price.

Jessi, more feedback on your tool.

So far so good, not a single pause or delay. Alarm's worked splendidly for me last night and today.

A suggestion for a minor improvement:
The Refresh Rate entry field is probably not necessary or could cause issues. Let me explain.

The 10 setting for refresh rate appears to be working very well, as per my testing and with other feedback., Also you had mentioned this refresh setting is based on Mt Gox's optimal API refresh requirements.

Because this tool is an alarm for BTC price change, and since the very most current price is needed at all times for this alarm to be worthwhile, having a user set refresh rate run longer than the optimal setting seems self-defeating. Someone could lose their shirt, or miss a buying opportunity if they can't react quickly enough to the most current price.

Since it is running so well at the default setting, if not faster than other Mt Gox Price charts/feeds, I would recommend that you simply remove this option altogether. I could see someone going and accidentally adding a zero for 100 seconds, or going below the optimal refresh rate which probably would not help anyway (as per Mt Gox API recommendations?).

I would simply leave a line that states "Set to optimal refresh rate of 10 seconds". Or perhaps, remove the refresh rate option for just the Mini-Window version?

Let me know your thoughts.

Glad to see your donations for the Alert Tool are growing; certainly well deserved.

Hmm, ok. good Idea... Maybe a case for Adobe AIR? I have to do a closer look next days when I have a bit more time, at this app...
Thanks for the tip!

I write it down into the bug list.
Or is it a feature?

thx for the tip.  just downloaded the Android version.

Jessi, you should make an Android version too!

gotcha, i have the Bluetooth version

Just plug in a 500 Watt Pioneer stereo system to your PC speaker out...that should do the trick.

I have a Logitech Z305 plug-in laptop speaker which cranks the sound.

lmao... bug!

I slept through the alarm. 

you might like to take a look at kitco's app, it would be fab to have something similar for bitcoins (I requested it a while back) & if combined with your alarm function would be a big winner, also this alarm function ability if added to kitco's app would be very, very popular with their clients I'd imagine & perhaps they'd buy/lease the coding from you?

taskbar Bcast ftw

 
I have to say thank you, for all those good Ideas, the wishes and also for the donations!

cool as & no rush for any tweaks as it's fab as it is

Ok. I´ll see what I can do in next versions. Sound choosing could be next feature. Anyway I guess I need some days to release, because I have to care a bit about my time (and my clients!).

Thank you. Same on my side. I watched and compared it the whole day, and yes, sometimes it was faster than other services and I did not have any hangups, too.
