Been getting nowhere with editing this MinimalTimer config for hours on my own so I thought its time to ask for help. I've tried pilfering bits of code from various places and tacking it on to no avail. I've broken it more times than I can count!
I just want Stopwatch Text/MeterCenterText to show time left in minutes, rather than seconds as it is at the moment. If possible, seconds would also show in addition to minutes but in a smaller font. Then once there is less than a minute left, it would show just seconds again.
I have a feeling I'm looking at the right parameters with MeasureTimerScript and MeasureMinutesRemaining but I simply can't fathom how to bring it together. Edit: .. Maybe I should be looking somewhere in this lua script and adding a formula to divide seconds by 60?

A secondary objective would be to automatically start timer sessions in a regimented way - i.e a work day with consistent breaks. Perhaps that might be too complicated?

Awesome thanks! Of course not expecting a solution to be given immediately, on the contrary I'm very grateful for any help or direction at all.
I did actually come across your timer but discarded it as it didn't have the aesthetic I was looking for (probably put too much value on this to be fair). Now that I've looked at it properly, the functionality looks very good indeed! I'll have a go.
