-===== 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 "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.

-===== 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 ("trough") and active 
-("progress") colors. For example: 
-<code>#PLUGIN_NAME progress { 
-background-color: silver; 
-} 
- 
-#PLUGIN_NAME trough { 
-background-color: red; 
-} </code> 
-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.
