Suggestions/Input for my Butt Out Widget

from WinCustomize Forums
Wanted to here people's suggestions for one feature in this Widget I'm working on.
In the goals section you add up to ten goals with each goal having a dollar value, sort of an incentive
to "Butt Out".

The question is this. Currently, the progress is calculated very simply without taking other goals' value
into mind...like this:

Savings to date = $16.80
Goal 1 $8.40 so, you can pay for it
Goal 2 $16.80 so, you can pay for it
Goal 3 $33.60 so, you can pay for 50%
Goal 4 $67.20 so, you can pay for 25%



What I'm thinking of doing is calculating based on all the goals.
So, for example:

Savings                     $16.80
Subtract: Goal 1           $8.40
Remaining                  $8.40
Subtract: Goal 2         $16.80
Remaining                ($8.40)
This would mean that Goal 2 would have 50% remaining

I hope this is clear. Just wanted to know what people's opinions are on this.

That seems to be the most sensible way to do it.

Your timing is impeccable, I really need to quit. The the fags don't kill me my wife will!

Good work.

Thanks. I've uploaded but, didn't do a running balance.

Based on the one I've had in moderation since mid-May it should be available some time around August. (Hey I have to get my jabs in when I can!)
