Features:
- Ability to choose a custom image for the left of the Widget
- Ability to change the text at the top (what you're saving for)
- Handy context menu options to add to/remove fr More

    Very nice. The only sugestion I have is to make even smaller (ie. less space in between the lines and especially the image size) so you can fit it better on the screen.

    For me, at least, the "$ left" section doesn't stop at two decimal points. For example, I have $1116.07 saved towards $1130, but the $ left display shows that I have $13.93000(...)00064 left to save. I'm not sure how you're getting a number with more than two decimal points from what should be simple subtraction, but if it's proving to be a problem to make the subtraction happen right, could you somehow just round the $ left display to two decimal places?

    I know about the progress bar going over the edge when you're at 100%, this is fixed in the next version, but they're being very slow about updating it, it would seem. But changing the colour is a good suggestion actually, I added it for if, for some reason, you go below zero, but not when you hit your goal. I'll most likely add that when I get a chance

    Thanks for this.

    I just used it to track my savings for a piece of software using my amazon sales. (my wife doesn't mind money that's "off-budget", and this tracked it well).

    The one thing that I'd like to see is that if you go over 100%, the meter clamps to 100% but the color changes. Having the meter draw outside the frame just feels rough to me.

    Once I figure out what the next "must have" piece of musical gear is for me, I'll be sure to start using the widget again!
