Ultimeter - the Ultimate Progress and Goals Meter

Ultimeter uses a simple shortcode, widget or block, to display a choice of different meters (a thermometer and a progress bar in the Lite version, with three more added in the Pro version). It then allows you to choose between percentage or currency units (with heaps more metrics in the Pro version). You can specify the total (goal) amount, as well as the total raised (progress) amount. You can even choose the colour of the meter, to keep it in line with your own styles.
