When a presentation is mandatory at my university, I need to meet the assigned time +- 2 minutes. To deviate more than 2 minutes is considered an error.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let users configure when which is color is to appear. This would allow me to configure the timer so that:
it fades to green while approaching 18 min
then fades to orange while approaching 20 min
and finally fade to red while approaching 22 min
(The reasoning is: I estimate that after looking at the timer that I will still need at least a minute to end my presentation properly.)
Describe alternatives you've considered
At least knowing when the colors change would already help. I tried to find that info in the man page or the application itself (without reading the code), but I could not find it. Still, letting users to configure it, even by just setting the values in the config file, would drastically help.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
5 minutes before the end, start fading from default to green ("reached" color)
0 remaining, blink for 5 seconds
start fading to orange ("info" color) over 2.5 minutes
then fade to red ("warn" color) over 2.5 minutes
After that remain solid red
I haven't always been convinced by the whole fading thing myself, nor by the necessity of blinking.
How about being able to specify start-end time of styles/fading? Something like:
green = -2:00 to 0 # expressed in time relative to the expected endorange = 0 to 120 # can use seconds toored = 2:00 # this is how you should specify a color starting at a time without fadingblink = -10 to 10 # blink 20s around target timeblink = # Alternately, leave an entry empty to disable
To be fair I think the remaining time convention is confusing too. "-2" for "2 before the end" seems like a more sensible convention, i.e.time relative to the end (in the same direction).
We could also allow values like "5%" that will adapt better to varying durations.
