#### Bare-bones stock tracker widget

simpleStonks shows a configurable list of stock indexes and tickers and charts
their movement, Yahoo Finance style, in a frameless translucent widget-style
window. The tracked list is editable from the UI and persisted along with
other settings.

What's new in 1.4.1:

* Fixed the price-alert bell rendering inconsistently on some systems:
  it is now a crisp built-in icon.
* Alert notifications now play the desktop's standard message sound and
  appear in the desktop's notification history.
* Losing the network no longer blanks charts that already have data:
  the app keeps showing the last loaded prices and displays a
  connection-lost icon in the header until the connection returns.
