This new version tracks energy futures for crude oil, RBOB gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, and propane gas. While the interface has changed a bit from the older version, we have tried to compensate as best as we can. So while the manual refresh button is gone, we now have an expanded update option in the settings panel as well as the ability to control which feeds you see.

The gadget interface itself is a little more compact, but full details can be seen by clicking any of the feed entries on the gadget which will trigger a flyout with the data in larger font as well as links to more detailed overviews and graphs.

With oil prices all over the news, we thought ‘Why stop at just one feed?’ So, after several weeks of hard dedication from our gadget team, we have completly recreated the Oil Price Monitor.

Features include:

  • The option of different feeds that will display the price of Crude Oil
  • The ability to choose between two themes
  • The ability to choose the amount change in monitary value, percentage, or both. 
  • A graphing function, to graph the last ten trading values.
