Hello! I am an Opera user for, say, 2-3 weeks and I think that this is the browser that I'm going to use for years, so I decided to take a closer look at its features and how things work. Well, what a better way to start than writing my very first widget

So, this is a very very simple widget to remind you not to forget to take some breaks while surfing the WEB for hours or working on something. You can select the time between breaks and the breaks length. That is all! Simple!

If you people find this idea nice I will make some improvements:
- break history with some nice graph, maybe
- stats on how much time you have worked
- more options and styles
- more... ideas... ??

Right now the biggest problem is the UI as I am not a graphic artist, so it may look ugly.

Enjoy!

This is the best and more useful widget of all I've ever seen

About year ago I decide to write similar desktop application (on C++) but why re-invite the wheel...
Thanks a lot! This widget save my eyes and increase my efficiency at work.

What a great widget! It would be nice to have a choice on it's "defalut location". My recycle bin lives in the bottom right and flox overlays that. Maybe give us the option to place it in one of the four corners of our desktop?

It's a very good idea! I accord to zong! Some .gif images doing some exercises would be a good idea!

Yes, I know it, but I'd like to keep it "Always below" and see it "on top" just when I receive a notification...

[babox] You could set the widget to be always on top by right clicking on it
I am thinking for the extra features. We'll see...

I was waiting for a widget like this (see here)

I think you should add more options and improve the design, but above all it would be better if when you receive the notification the widget could place itself "on top".

BTW

Good idea, zomg. Here's some inspiration: http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/01/03/web-worker-stretches/

This is a quite nice idea.

How about showing some exercise moves you could do while on your break to help relieve stress on shoulders/back/something?
