Crypto Price Widget

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell cryptocurrencies, it is important to keep a close eye on their current price to maximize your profits. However, opening a new browser tab to perform this check is something many would like to avoid.

Crypto Price Widget is a relatively simple, Electron-based application that tracks coin prices and displays the information in a small desktop widget. It supports pretty much all known cryptocurrencies, but it lacks sufficient customization options.

Once you launch the program, a few popular coins will be tracked by default, namely Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Of course, you can remove any of them and add only the ones you are interested in.

The application lists the current price of all tracked cryptocurrencies, as well as recent increases or decreases in percentage form. You can track prices in your native currency, as long as it is among those that are supported.

Moreover, you can specify the quantity of each coin you own and keep track of their actual value, as well get an overall view of your portfolio via a donut chart.

We have to say that the widget doesn’t look bad, although its design is perhaps a bit too simplistic. It is important to note that, unfortuantely, the application cannot be minimized to the tray area, so it will always be displayed in your taskbar.

However, it would have been great if some visual customization options were available. Aside from increasing or decreasing its dimensions, nothing about the widget’s appearance can be changed.

For instance, we would like to be able to use a different font, alter the widget’s transparency and change the default background color. Naturally, additional themes would be more than welcome.

Crypto Price Widget is a relatively straightforward application that is easy to configure and can help you track the prices of almost all known cryptocurrencies. It doesn’t offer any advanced features, however, and the widget’s appearance cannot be customized in any way.
