~~NOTOC~~ ====== xfce4-timer-plugin - Timer ====== Xfce4-timer-plugin is a simple plugin that lets the user run an alarm at a specified time or at the end of a specified countdown period. * **[[#Known Issues|Known Issues]]** * **[[#Screenshots|Screenshots]]** * **[[#Latest Release|Latest Release]]** * **[[#Source Code Repository|Source Code Repository]]** * **[[#Reporting Bugs|Reporting Bugs]]** ---- ===== Usage ===== - [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:add-new-items|Add the plugin to the panel]]. - Right-click on the added plugin, select **Properties** to open the settings window. ==== Panel Icon ==== The icon displays a progress bar showing the percentage of the time elapsed. The bar changes color when active from silver to blue. Left-clicking on the icon opens a menu of available alarms. After selecting one, the user can start or stop the timer by selecting the "start/stop timer" entry in the same menu. Right-clicking on it provides access to Properties. ==== Properties Window ===== The Xfce4 Timer Options window allows users to add, edit, remove and arrange alarms. Each alarm is either a countdown or is run at a specified time. By default a simple dialog pops up at the end of the countdown. The user can choose an external command to be run as the alarm command for all events, or for just a particular one. An option allows this command to be repeated a specified number of times with a given interval between repetitions. Here is an example that uses a simple ping: play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/completed.oga A different external command may be used for a specific event by adding it in the Alarm add/edit window. ---- ===== Known Issues ===== The icon may be nearly invisible against some themes. The colors being used can be adjusted with a code snippet in the css file. For GTK3, the following code can be used to adjust inactive ("trough") and active ("progress") colors. For example: #PLUGIN_NAME progress { background-color: silver; } #PLUGIN_NAME trough { background-color: red; } The actual plugin name, usually something like *xfce4-timer-plugin-2* where the widget number at the end is particular to individual desktops, can be found by hovering over its widget on the Panel Properties > Items tab.
