Free Stocks Ticker Description
Free Stocks Ticker is a lightweight Windows application designed with a single goal in mind: to help you display financial information from RSS feeds right on your screen.
Easy-to-configure parameters
The program automatically places a transparent panel on the bottom or top part of your screen and gives you the possibility to read the news directly from your desktop. Plus, if you hover the mouse cursor over one of the text messages, the tool provides additional information.
You can set up the dedicated parameters by simply performing a right click-operation on the transparent bar and choose the desired function.
Configuration settings
Free Stocks Ticker enables you to make the program remain on top of other applications and this proves to be particularly useful especially when working with multiple programs, as well as alter the speed for the displaying mode (faster or slower).
What’s more, you can make the app display the RSS feeds randomly or in a certain order, reveal stock related data or news from CNN or Foxnews, and refresh the current information with just one click.
Last but not least, you are allowed to specify the number of lines, set the font size, pick the background color, choose the line position (bottom or top), select the text color, alter the opacity, create a custom list with RSS feeds, and automatically refresh the feeds at a user-defined time.
During our testing we have noticed that Free Stocks Ticker carries out a task quickly and without errors. It is quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.
Bottom line
All in all, Free Stocks Ticker offers a simple yet handy software solution when it comes to helping you monitor RSS feeds right from your screen.
