That's a no-go from my side (and likely from most app developers' sides as 
well). It's a function rarely used which clutters the default user interface 
immensely. It's too much in-your-face, and to me comes over almost as ransom-
ware, i.e. pretty desperate.

A more prominent donate link/option/thing is completely fine to me, but not at 
the cost of the user experience. Making this trade-off would defeat the 
purpose of the exercise, donations are meant to make the software better, not 
worse.

Cheers,
