This KDE4 plasmoid displays exchange rate for cpecicied currencies. This widget used the FloatRates Feeds API to collect data so credit is due there.
This Software is published under the terms of the GNU GPL V3 and comes without any warranty. Feel free to change or distribute this software.
Short installation instruction: *********************************************** 1. From sourcess: $ tar -xvzf CurrencyPlasmoid_v.0.2_src.tar.gz $ cd CurrencyPlasmoid $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. # sudo make install
2. From .deb package: # sudo dpkg -i CurrencyPlasmoid_0.2_Ubuntu_x64.deb
After instll you need to update plasma, after that you can add widget "currency": $ kbuildsycoca4 $ kquitapp plasma-desktop $ plasma-desktop
SUPPORTED CURRENCIES: *********************************************** Supported currencies listed on the next http://www.floatrates.com/feeds.html. Currency code specified in parentheses. As example: USD, EUR, RUB....
NOTE: Update exchange rates on the site takes place once a day.For this reason, there is no need to install frequent updates.
You only need to specify base currency (the currency against which calculates rates) code into the plasmoid settings and any currency for which you want to display exchange rate. In the straight course specified currency codes separated by semicolons that are calculated to the base currency. Accordingly, in the course of an inverted calculation is performed with respect to this currency. For example, the base currency and the USD exchange rate is determined for the EUR, direct the course will be the USD/EUR, and the inverted EUR/USD dollar, respectively.
With version 0.2 you can include the option to display percentage changes in exchange rates in relation to the previous day or the average of the exchange rates of the week. The history of rate changes be stored on your computer and increases as update the working plasmoid (all stored up to 31 entries for all currencies against the base currency). If one day the plasmoid did not work (the computer was turned off, and so on) that day is ignored in the calculation of the average rate for the week. Any changes to the base currency, the data for the previous saved in history, and when you return it will be restored. The history files are stored in ~ /.currency/
UNINSTALL v0.1 ************************************************ In /build/ directory run: # sudo make uninstall Or find and remove next files: plasma-floatrates-engine.so plasma_applet_currency.so plasma-floatrates-engine.desktop plasma_applet_currency.desktop ~/.floatrates.xml In Ubuntu .so files placed in dir: /usr/lib/kde4/ and .desktop files placed /usr/share/kde4/services/.Last changelog:
v0.2.2 ====== - fixed bug reading date less than 10 - fixed saving of history when you switch the base currency
v0.2 ==== - display of percentage changes in exchange rates in relation to the previous day / average rate for the previous week - font size is changed depending on the size of the window - fixed view in tray - a pop-up message with the complete information when you click on the icon in the system tray - "Update" item in menu
I have a screen capture of the results of 0.2.2
Let me know where to send it if you wish to see what I am getting with the current version of CurrencyPlasmoid.
Actually, that was the .deb file. I downloaded the .tar.gz file and compiled and installed from there. That does give me the proper output.
I am using Kubuntu 14.04 LST

I found no mention of "qt"
Do I need a different CMakeLists.txt?
Thank you!

Kubuntu 14.04 Trusty, AMD64 8-core, 4GHz. with 512GB SSD
Please try to change CMakeLists.txt in
~/Downloads/CurrencyPlasmoid/CurrencyPlasmoid/
In strings 32, 33 change name "qt" to "qt_currency".
It should look like this:
add_library(qt_currency ${qt_UI_H})
target_link_libraries(plasma_applet_currency qt_currency
Then try again in /buil directrory:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='kde4-config
--prefix' ..

Nice appq but dont work for my http://wstaw.org/m/2016/03/04/Ex4.png http://wstaw.org/m/2016/03/04/Ex3.png
Please specify which base currency specified in your plasmoid configuration.

I fixed the file and upload it again. Download the file again and try to build the application.
