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

    I type too much, my comment got cut off :D
    Carrying on from where it got cut off...

    'Lastly and most importantly, you should add the same types of frames that the Picture Frame widget has' - Good point, that way it would match. I'll see what I can do about that

    lcubed:
    Adding commas between amounts is a good idea, i'll see if that can be done, it would make it easier to read.
    And square images do work best, otherwise they're stretched, i'll see if I can change the way i More

    'First, Yen could be added.' - You can change the currency to anything you like in the next version (version 1.1, but the gallery hasn't been updated with it yet), so all you'd need to do is type the Yen symbol in.

    'Secondly, the dialog box for adding a picture could start in My Pictures instead of My Documents.' - Good point, i'll add that at some point.

    Hey this is really cool! A few small cosmetic things--is there a way to add commas in their appropriate places for the $XX,XXX? Also, is there a way to preserve the picture ratio of the goal image? It seems to make my image into a square.

    Thanks for taking the time to make usefully cool things!

    Very good little app, but here's a few things that could be improved. First, Yen could be added. Secondly, the dialog box for adding a picture could start in My Pictures instead of My Documents. Thirdly, the Reset to Default button could be erased, since it's kind of redundant (all one should need to do is erase where the image filename path). If there is a way to change the colors of the widget, it's not very obvious. Lastly and most importantly, you should add the same types of frames that the Picture Frame widget has. That would be downright awesome.
