Savings meter

by Matthew Dent

A Widget to visually show how far you've saved towards something and how far you've got to go. Useful if you're saving up for something that will cost a lot and you want to visually track how much you have left to go and how much you already have (e.g. if you were saving for a Mac or something).

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 from savings in amounts of 5, 10 or a custom amount of the currency you're using
- Tells you when you've reached your goal, or even if your savings have gone below zero
- Ability to enter custom currency symbols or even text to go before or after amounts
- Customisable colours for background and text (useful if you're running more than one instance)
- Option to set to 'paying back' rather than saving towards something, if you want to pay an amount back that you owe

    This is a very nice widget which I use to track my savings for several L glass that I dreamed of. A recommendation for Matthew : Since I live in a country where the cost of an L glass can exceed several millions, will you kindly provide the widget with a thousands separator? So Rp 8600000 will be easier to read (Rp 8,600,000). (the cost for 135 f/2 L as time of writing ^_^) Thank you.

    This is a great widget! I had it before, then a few years later, I got a virus (from Windows Live, not this widget, NOOOO!), that affected my CD drive, I sent it to get it fixed, and the computer came back to me washed out, nothing on it. So I downloaded it again because I loved it sooooo much! :)
    I hope that you can make more gagets like this one, that work JUST AS WELL! :)

    I like this widget a lot because, it not only shows how much more money needed to reach our particular goal, it also shows the percentage we have saved so far. Great widget. ;)
