I suppose it's not complete yet, because the values are set and not written, and the roundline always corresponds to 10 mins starting value. If you set 4 mins, it will show like 6 mins have passed.

Apart form these things, the skin is pretty good. I would have liked to scroll(if not input text) instead of clicking the buttons.

And the changing the seconds button changes the minutes too. Which is not expected, but it's for personal use, so I guess it's okay.

Good work tbh.

Yep, this is something I also dislike. Not a fortunate approach, in my opinion.

This can easily be done, through MouseScrollDownAction and MouseScrollUpAction options. If you or sl23 don't know how to do it, please let me know for assistance.

In my opinion, this is a very good approach.

I agree 100% - scrolling would make this much easier though, instead of clicking thousands of times on those little buttons. Or, he could leave the buttons do what they do for fine adjustment, and use scrolling for quicker / gross adjustments. Since we're at it, although not absolutely needed here, he could control the scroll amount using powers of 10, though it might need some adjustments in this case due to minutes being 60 and not 100 seconds, hours being 60 and not 100 minutes, and so on.

Also, after clicking on Set, I can't Reset anymore...

MouseScrollActions were one of my todo's, but at this point, I would like to concentrate on the RoundBar showing correctly depending what the timer is actually set to regardless of the default. Is that doable?

Reset now appears only after clicking stop the first time. Or once the counter reaches zero. It doesn't need to be shown !OnRefresh

Do you disagree? :???:
I just thought that when the skin was refreshed, the timer is at it's default so why would you need to reset it?

If you click Set, then OK, reset shows up again too. :D

Ah, you're right - it makes no sense to reset once you've already set it, indeed. I was just being caught up in the "this button is not working" idea, LOL. It was actually working (e.g. resetting after being set then OK), but I don't know why I expected the timer to change... :???:

Yeah, I was like "why the heck isn't the timer set to 0 - something is wrong here", LMAO. I have my "drunk" moments too, it seems - better let balala handle this, because those cute little buttons of yours seriously messed up with my mind, hahaha!
