I love this widget, and having two instance of it running on my desktop!. I love its functionality and does not care much about the UI (such as flags, color etc)
Some of the things which can be improved:
1. Only click on the text area (conversion rate) or a button/flag on the left of the text should bring the currency selection dialog box up. There is no way to easily move the widget from one position to another on my desktop without having the currency dialog box popping up. A lock/unlock featu…res should be a good idea!
2. there should be a way to resize the left and right black space, and resizing the text!!. Desktop real estate is pretty valuable!.esp when you place your widgets on the top of the screen together with the menu bar, etc.
Other than the two above it is a perfect widget!!More

hi, nice widget. is it possible if you can recode the widget to allow input decimals? for example, i would like to convert £7.69 specifically.

Alien, thanks for your feedback. For now will leave the widget to accept only English format. If i get time, will definitely consider localising. Hope you will understand.
Paul, thanks for your feedback. This issue is already on my plate. Will definitely try to fix it in the next version. Please bear with me.
Thanks Daniel. Glad you liked it.

great widget but one great bug. if you submit for example 100,30 instead of 110.30 the convertor crashes.
i have 3 lines. after copy and paste an amount from browser with "," 2 lines dissapear and couldn´t be reactivated. even not if you set to 1 line. and again to 2, or 3.
if you close the widget and restart you have only 1 line again, and you coluldn´t add more.
if you close yahoo widget or reboot the pc tha convertor could´´nt load.
you have to delete the widget from the had,and install again.
