The problem should be fixed now. The problem was that the front month crude oil contract changed (it seems this changes around the 20th every month). Every time it updates, I need to tell the widget to look for another arcane set of symbols to get the right chart. This time, it changed from NYMEX_CL.09X.E to NYMEX_CL.09Z.E. I have to figure out the system behind this so I can automate it. Geir Hi Helmut,

I love this widget. First thing in the morning is to bring up the dashboard and have a look at what the oil price is doing. Ever thought of making it into an iPhone app? Thanks a lot Geir.

I'm not a very enthusiastic trader and enjoyed how the previous crude showed more history than just a day. Will you be allowing users to set the time period for the various charts in a future version, t'would be very welcome, Al Thanks Geir for the new commodities widget, works great.

I have a new widget which does the same (and more) under development. You can try it here: http://www.gebweb.net/Commodities.wdgt.zip Hope you like it! Geir Hi Godfrey,

Any chance you can give us customized colors? Or color tied to commodity type? I have about 6 of them on my dashboard each tracking a different commodity. If they were color coated it would be easier to tell what they were. Keep up the good work! Love the new commodities widget. Any chance you can give us customized colors?
