The pie-shaped timer is incredibly helpful for people with dyscalculia or ADD or other disorders that impair the ability to sense time. I recommend it strongly for anyone who finds themselves suddenly shocked that they are almost out of time to finish something.

That said, it has problems. When zoomed in, it will only remain visible as long as you don't click anything. As soon as you interact with it, the viewable portion of the widget contracts to the usual size, cutting off the UI that falls outside of that "window." If you try ti minimize it to its pie-only form, it becomes entirely invisible when zoomed in. This is an issue if I want the timer to be big enough for me to see without having to actually sit down at the computer, and considering I want to use it all the time for everything, this is a problem for me.

Also, like people have mentioned, it has no pause.

Finally, the drop-down menu where you can save timer lengths is not intuitive. The plus and minus icons look like they should add or subtract TIME, like how a microwave has a "plus 1 minute" button. Only after clicking on the plus icon - expecting it to add a minute - did I discover that it actually allows you to save the timer.

Still! It's a wonderfully simple and elegant widget in its basic form. I love having the little circle down in the corner of my screen quietly telling time in a way I can actually use. It's better than an analogue clock or egg timer because of the color change.

Excellent widget!
How about transparency and sound/visual effects settings?

In addition I would like to recommend to change format of time to "hh:mm:ss" instead of "mm:ss" that is currently used.
I really like the user interface and graphical representation of timer when it is minimized.

Great widget!

Great to see new version that is compatible with Opera 10.51. Thank you

For anyone wondering, this widget has now been updated and works fine on opera 10.51.

I like this widget, but in Opera 10.5 some icons (e.g. "+" "-" "minimize") are not displayed correctly. It is also impossible to run more timers at the same time.

Do you plan to update this very useful widget?

Simple, easy to use, with an alarm that is distinct but not irritating. I use this timer all the time.

I have the Opera browser on my cell phone, but the application doesn't start up when I lauch it? Am I doing anything wrong?

nice, but i do not here a sound here?
and its kinda big.
to chose from a mp3 would be great.
thanks will use it when the sound issue is solved.

Great widget budy,it can be improve by making the sound continuous until you stop it and going on top of everything if it was minimized.

Good job :-)

Just want to say thank you...you saved many burning dinners!

By fivekitten , # Oct 2, 2008 9:59:22 PM

Very Useful... THX a lot..

By xtro7 , # Aug 2, 2008 2:38:15 PM

Cool, there's a sound now. Fantastic!
What about a pop-up window? Would be really helpful, if the sound is turned off (whysoever) and the widget is in "Always below" mode

And mybe a longer sound... or even music file integration (wav, mp3, ...)

One of my favorite widgets. However,would not work for me in 9.5 beta2. Now,9.5 final is out. I hope you are still in there,and will upgrade it to work in 9.50 final.
Thanks

Love the timer,but in Opera 9.5 beta,the time settings cannot be changed. Works fine in 9.24. Hope you can fix the problem.
Thanks
