Hello,
As a Southern Louisiana resident, this time of year can be harrowing. In a rush to fix many issues in the last release of Cool Timer before Hurricane Isaac took our power away for 2 days, I overlooked some things and left a few issues un-fixed. I apologize for this and really appreciate the user feedback about some of the remaining issues that needed to be fixed. The long weekend has given me allot of time to go through the code and fix things. New version 4.3 is now available for download at

Many users do not appreciate or like the new visualization feature of the program. I left it enabled by default so that users who might appreciate it would know it was available. It is extremely easy to toggle off from the program's Options menu. Just click "Use visualization (show image)" or just press "Ctrl + V" on your keyboard to toggle it on or off. The compact window can be resized horizontally a little more to reclaim even more screen space if it's still too big for you.
Thank you all for your patience and for sending your feedback.
