Real-time Forex quotes from TrueFX; This sidebar gadget was developed to be a small tool that will allow you to view real-time Forex quotes from TrueFX. The main window will display quotes for various currencies.
The install takes about 1 second, although Integral should make sure that their name appears when clicking install because it warns of an ‘Unknown Publisher’. Nevertheless the gadget works fine and is quite handy even to me, and I’m not a trader.

Update: the widget was actually made by an individual developer named Adal Chiriliuc, not Integral itself. Nonetheless, he’s done a great job promoting Integral…
Actually it was not done by Integral, but by me. Check out the About info in the Gadgets selection application.
To get rid of the “Unknown publisher” thing you need to buy a code signing certificate ($500).
The widget also has a biggish bug: after a while (one week) it’s memory consumption can grow to 500 MB. There seems to be a memory leak somewhere in the JavaScript code.
There is a simple workaround:
1. Kill “sidebar.exe” from Task Manager – all the widgets will dissappear and the memory will be released
2. Right click on the desktop and choose “Gadgets” from the menu
3. All the gadgets will appear back
