 ===== Usage ===== ===== Usage =====
-The plugin is quite simple -- it displays a progressbar showing the percentage of the time elapsed. Left-clicking on the plugin area opens a menu of available alarms. After selecting one, the user can start or stop the timer by selecting "start/stop timer" entry in the same menu. New alarms are added through the preferences window. 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 and may also choose to have this repeated a specified number of times with a given interval between repetitions.+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 "start/stop 
 +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: 
 +<code>play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/completed.oga</code> 
 +A different external command may be used for a specific event by adding it 
 +in the Alarm add/edit window.

 +can be adjusted with a code snippet in the css file. For GTK3, the 
 +following code can be used to adjust inactive ("trough") and active 
 +("progress") colors. For example: 
 +<code>#PLUGIN_NAME progress { 
 +background-color: silver; 
 +}
