I have made another big update to steemticker-osx. I have checked off everything on my to-do list of major updates and changes at this point, and my only updates will be bug fixes and minor changes until I come up with something new to add that is useful and/or improves ease of use of the program. Here is what's new:
https://github.com/ZachC16/steemticker-osx
NOTE: The steem-python module is now required for the program to run! Install it in terminal with: pip3 install steem.
Changes to portfolio system:
I have made a big change to the portfolio system, as I noticed myself having to open the portfolio setup screen and change my STEEM balance every time I received STEEM or collected rewards. This became annoying very quickly, so I decided to change the portfolio system to automatically update your balance every time you acquired more STEEM, STEEM-backed Dollars, or STEEM POWER. To do this, I utilized the wonderful and easy to use steem-python library (steem.readthedocs.io) to fetch account balances for an inputted username.
Here is the new look of the portfolio setup window:
As you can see, you now input your STEEM username instead of an amount of STEEM, and the program uses the steem-python library to fetch your account data and keep your balances of STEEM, STEEM-backed Dollars and STEEM POWER up to date. Now, your username is written to the "portfolio.txt" file so you don't have to input it again every time you run the program. Please remember not to change the "portfolio.txt" file so that the program can read it properly.
Here is the current look of the menu:
There are no major changes, but the display of portfolio value is a little different, using your username, so I decided to include this photo to show the update.
That's all for now! As I always say, I am open to any collaboration, suggestions, or pull requests.

i ran through the steps in terminal. it installed some stuff (i'm a totally newbie at python stuffs) but i can't find the ticker.py where will it be stored?
If you cloned the repository before navigating anywhere, that might be the problem. Try to navigate to your desktop and clone it again.
roger that.
Let me know if everything is working, alright?
