Feature Request

[bir...@suddensales.com]

I love your program. Thank you.

I think it would be helpful to have the break timers be countdown
timers, starting at 5:00 min or 15:00 min and counting down to zero.
That way, you would know whether you are on a long or short break and
not have to do math to know how much time you have left.

May I also suggest that the type color for the tasks be something
other than red, or be user adjustable? As an older user, I have a lot
of trouble reading red on black.

Glad to hear you like it!

Yeah that's a good idea, I think that's how it should work as well.

Not to mention the problems color blind people would have! 

Thank you for your suggestions, they will be considered. However, Fredrik and I (who created this) have been quite busy lately, and not much development is being done on the Pomodairo app for the moment.

Being an open source project, we welcome anyone to join in and try to add a feature here or there, so hopefully someone will get around to doing these things one day.. :)

Thanks for your feedback and understanding.

Cheers,

Viktor

I think the bigger issue is that short/long breaks cannot be requested by user, you need to work in rhythm configured in settings (e.g. "4" = 3 short breaks then 1 long). People working in rhythm [4],[3],[4],[3] get problem on which breaks long breaks are served. The improvement idea is that during a break running, there should be an indication of short/long break ("Short break", "Long break" + color of digits: e.g. green=short, cyan=long) and a button Change to flip short<-->long. This will solve both problems. Counting down during breaks isn't necessary when this is implemented.
