Xfce4-time-out-plugin makes it possible to take periodical breaks from the computer at user-configurable intervals (specified in minutes and seconds). During breaks it suspends your screen (for a time period that is also configurable), preventing user input. It optionally allows you to postpone breaks for a certain time.

The idea is inherited from DrWright, a plugin originating with GNOME.

In the properties dialog you have several options to configure the plugin. You can define

• the duration (length) of each break (default: 5 minutes)
• the time between breaks (default: 30 minutes)
• the postpone time (default: 2 minutes)
• whether to allow breaks to be postponed
• whether to display seconds in the panel
• whether to display hours in the panel
• whether to display the remaining time until the next break at all

The plugin also offers a context menu which makes it possible to

• deactivate the plugin easily
• take a break instantly
