+ | ===== Usage ===== | ||
+ | The plugin consists of a Panel icon and a Properties 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 " | ||
+ | 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: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | 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 (" | ||
+ | (" | ||
+ | < | ||

+ | 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. | ||
