It depends on the amount of work a person wants to put into a donation bar and how much fidelity you want for it. The short answer is "Yes" I could have chosen to make a killer Photoshop Thermomether and made 100 images for each percentage of the thermostat's rise. I could have made 1000 images if I wanted to show it in .1% degrees. I could have then made several variants for the various heights and widths that people might want to choose.

Then people could have taken out their calculators to figure out how much of their goal is achieved when the user contributes $15 and their goal is $400 for the month and selected the correct image to display.

BUT

I'm a Marine with four kids and a lot of other work to do. I wanted a simple solution that got the job done and was sharing how I implemented.

So, if you think it's "ugly" then you're welcome to put the work into figuring out a way to make it pretty but it works for me given the time I was willing to devote to the task.
