Question and proposal

[edit]
  • What does the height=15x mean in the template code?
  • When using the Text argument, I don't know how to precede my custom text with a space:

60% completed (estimate)

   

  • I propose adding a height or thickness to the bar, by including a style one-liner.

The new code would look like this (I don't know how to highlight part of a <pre> section):

 {| style="border: 1px solid black" cellspacing=1 width={{{width|75%}}} height=15x align=center
  |+ <big>'''{{{1|0}}}%'''</big>{{{Text| completed <small>(estimate)</small>}}}
  |- style="height:{{{height|1}}}px"
  |align=center width=0.{{{1|000.00}}}% style=background:#7fff00|
  |align=center width={{ #expr: 100-{{{1|000.00}}}}}% style=background:#ff7f50|
  |}

The new code is: |- style="height:{{{height|1}}}px"

Here is an example from my sandbox version (which also has a space in front of the Text argument):

60% custom text

I hand't seen this message until now (I came to the talk page to see whether anyone had questioned/explained that strange width=0.{{{1|000.00}}}% syntax (btw it breaks when one enters 100)... coincidentally, in the course of my last few edits to the template I solved the issues you pointed here (except the whitespace, which I added now after reading this).
