Generic Countdown Timer

by Laurent Cozic

A simple countdown timer. You can set the time in hours, minutes, seconds and an alarm will ring once the counter reaches zero. You can customize the font, the skin and you can choose how you want the time to be displayed.

One important feature of this Widget is that you can choose to initialize the counter with a default time when the Widget starts, which is convenient when you always need a countdown for the same amount of time (like in my case, I only need it to know when my coffee is about to be done).
Current Version: 2.0.3

    Could you add a simple reset button so that I don't need to type in the numbers every time I want to restart the countdown? Thanks.

    I have been using this timer for sometime. I love it!!! You can set a specific time for it to ring (as in alarm clock) or you can set it for a few minutes or hours. I use it to remind me to take my meds most of the time. It sets on the desktop and you can determine its opacity. Therefore, you can hide it or not It has large numerals, making it easy to see across the room. My only complaint is that it only handles one task at a time. Otherwise, this is great!!! Thanks, Laurent!!

    Is it possible to start the timer with a customised hot key rather than a double click?

    Thanks for the quick addition of this feature .
    However, the widget doesn't come on top if the window setting is "keep below all other windows" . It is necessary to use this setting, otherwise, when you press win+D , the widget too is minimised. :(
