Historical Currency Converter

by Alex Pawlowski

Ever want to know how much three dollars in the 1950s would be like in today's money, or how many shillings in the 1700s would be in dollars today? This Widget does that and converts pounds into current dollars. This Widget links to a frink server site that converts historical currencies into dollars today. As usual, expect multiple skins, font choices, and font colors.

version .b now displays the result in a tray that comes up when you first hit "enter" or "return," no More

    Worked great, I used it for middle ages. Had to guess at the text for mow much and year because you can't see it against the background.

    Where it says "crowns". Do you mean the british old crowns or the swedish crowns (kronor)?
    If you mean the british I have lied on an essay about Shakespeare in school. ;)

    Great widget, I use it for just about anything you can think of, and the colors are a nice feature for my ever changing desktop. My only recommendation is that you darken the font for the text "how much" and "year" where the input goes - because against the backdrop of most of these skins I could barely see it, and that decreases the ease of usability. Overall a great app.

    The result display cuts off most of the right-hand number. It seems the display is too far to the right or the font is too large.
