Simple countdown timer

[Yincognito]

I didn't separate the uptime text.

I have 3 image meters I use for scrolling(to change hours, minutes and seconds). I just added 8 lines and edited one.

What I am doing is changing the inline pattern on mouse over.

For hour: ^(\d{2})
For minute: ^.*:(\d{2})
For second: ^.*\s(\d{2}) (could be (\d{2})$)

I actually thought the same thing, LOL - except the image part. I wanted to have the same meter repeated and the unwanted parts to be made invisible, then the wanted parts highlighted or not. Your idea is much better, while you surely can avoid messing with the measures, you simply can't avoid the same thing with meters: you HAVE to create new ones. Oh, and the issue I mentioned is corrected as well - good job!

Works very well, thanks death.crafter.

@Yincognito: What issue was that?

I also corrected Yin's error. If hour is 00, scrolling on it won't make the minutes and seconds 00. Same for minutes. When it's 00:00 scrolling on both won't make seconds 00.

[sl23]

Tbh, I didn't find that I had that issue. I tried scrolling up and down on the 00 and it didn't affect anything else? Strange!

What did you change in the code?

You want it to be that way?

I mean if it's 00:07 40, scrolling down on the hour makes it 00:00 00.

I corrected this to work properly.

When you scroll on hour part nothing will happen if it's 00. Same for minute.

[sl23]

No. Definitely not!
But it doesn't do that for me anyway. I mean that it works correctly without that issue. What did you change to fix it your end?

I repeat myself: that is NOT an "error" - it's the intended and expected behavior. If someone (anyone) doesn't like it, that doesn't make it an "error", you know - some like white chocolate, some like black chocolate, and neither of them is making an error to do that.

So, when it's 00:00:47, I'm on the minute and I scroll downwards, that means "subtract a minute from this". Since you can't have negative times, there are 2 choices, equally valid:
- don't do anything, if you're expected to scroll seconds instead, in order to modify them (your way)
- subtract the most you can to get as close as subtracting a minute as possible, i.e. the 47 seconds (my way)
The latter is consistent with my general approach of being able to modify the minutes even if you scroll on seconds, and the hours if you scroll on either minutes or seconds long enough. Since I use an Uptime measure, it's all about seconds to me - and incidentally, it's the same for Windows or any clock whatsoever, because when you reach 60 seconds on a clock or a stopwatch, it will automatically increment the minute, and make it 00:01:00. Who says you can't do this backwards?

[sl23]

It works just fine the way it is. I can understand some might prefer scrolling hours adjusts minutes etc but I prefer how it is now, thank you.

[sl23]

I think what death.crafter is saying is that if you scroll it sets the timer to zero?

I beg to differ. I know you are trying to say that none of us is wrong. But still it doesn't sit right in my mind.

You referred to Windows timer and let's go for that.

If you are SETTING the timer, the hour, minute and seconds change irrespective of each other. That is my first remodeling of your code. How the timer works is irrespective of how it is set.

If the time is 00:30 00 then I can't subtract an hour from it. Subtracting the maximum value you can, is just illogical to me.

But then again, each to his own leaf.
