The first thing to do is to choose which currencies you want to work with. The list contains all the world's currencies, cryptocurrencies and precious metals. You can also add your own currencies, including "virtual currencies". Active currencies are listed first, other currencies are grayed out, and the default currency is marked with a star. To find a currency, enter its alphabetic code or part of the name in the search field below. For example, entering "GBP" will leave a single currency in the list: the British pound.
Double-click a currency to view its properties. For convenience it is best to rename it to "Pounds" and change the designation from "GBP" to the £ symbol (you can copy the symbol straight from here). The currency code is used to load exchange rates from the internet. Click star button to make it available for use then click "OK". That's it – your currency is ready to use.
Be sure to set the default currency by selecting it from the list and clicking "Set default". A total balance for all accounts is displayed in the default currency, and amounts will be calculated using it in many other places as well. You can hide unused currencies by selecting them from the list and clicking "Disable". After selecting your currencies, proceed to account creation.
Helpful hints
In the "Symbol" field you can add a space to separate the amount from the currency symbol.
You can also select the symbol alignment: to the left of the amount ($100) or to the right (100$).
