Gold Price Widget checks the current price of a troy ounce of gold (or gram) every 30 minutes and displays its value.

If the price is higher or lower then the average of the last last 10 prices, an arrow reflecting this change is shown next to the price.

For the Dashboard version there are seven settings on the reverse panel can be make to change how Gold Price Widget operates. To reveal the reverse panel, click the i while the mouse pointer is over the widget. You can set an alarm to play if the price ever gets over or below a set amount.

The sound played can also be set for each of these thresholds. The theme and size drop downs will allow you to change the coin and denomination shown. Price will not be affected by any section made here, for that use the Currency drop down. More about that below. If your interested in using your own images, see the section on hacking.

The next setting controls how the price of gold is to be displayed. The choices include the price in troy ounces or grams or you can display grams or ounces per unit of currency. The currency drop down lets you display the price of gold in 23 different currencies along with any available currency symbol that is also supported by HTML.

For some of the more devalued currencies there may not be any decimal points. Finally, Gold Price widget, from time to time, will check for updates and notify you when a new widget is available for download by displaying a blue arrow (see fig 3). Click this arrow to view the widget's web page. For those who wear tin foil hats, you can turn this feature off by unchecking "Check for updates".
