Windows 10: USD to DKK live Exchange Rate in taskbar

Just like you have this news and weather widget in the taskbar, I would like to have a widget that constantly shows me the live USD to DKK exchange rate. Is this possible in some way?

Use Microsoft Points to purchase XBOX Live games?

For the Xbox Live community games the authors don't set the prices. They can suggest prices but with the exception of making something free they can't set the price on something themselves.

The point system has some what insulated the displayed price of an item with daily fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Something being priced with the same number of points in two countries doesn't translate into something being the same price in
both countries. Using the site that wpap referenced I find the following.

800pts = 10.00 USD
800pts = 6.80 GBP
800pts = 9.30 EUR

From looking at that one might make the mistake of thinking that 10.00 USD is equal to 6.80 GBP or that 10.00 USD is equal to 9.30 EUR. But it's not. It may have been in the past though. I checked exchange rates on xe.com and I find the following.

10 USD = 6.06050 GBP
10 USD = 6.98470 EUR

If you check these numbers yourself you may find something different as these rates change all throughout the day. If you implement a system that maintains the same actual cost across multiple currencies then the prices will seemingly fluctuate throughout
the day with the exchange rates (I had to work on constructing such a system at a financial institution). Microsoft's initial stance was to avoid this and go with the point system. Microsoft had said they were going to try to find a more transparent way for
people to make purchases.

Since then there have been some titles made available on Xbox live that are priced in units of currency instead of units of points.
