That's a great idea! It's been added to the todo list. I’d thought about allowing decimals, but I hadn’t considered a colon. That’s a great idea! It’s been added to the todo list.

That's definitely helpful. It would be great to see this functionality incorporated officially in a future release. Could you make it so that typing a period or colon and then numbers updated the seconds? Just an idea. Rob Thanks, Dan. That’s definitely helpful.

There's an undocumented way to make it countdown in seconds (though the label will still say minutes). Open up SnapTimer.ini with a text editor like Notepad and add this line anywhere in the [Main] section: SecondsMode=1 With this set the value in the minutes field will be treated as seconds. You can turn it off by setting the value to 0. Hey Rob, thanks for the comment. There’s an undocumented way to make it countdown in seconds (though the label will still say minutes).

Just curious: Is there a way to set a countdown to 30 seconds? I can only seem to set per minute countdowns. Rob Hi Dan–

If you don't want to resize the window, then don't :) I tried to stop the flashing for a while, without much luck. The form is double-buffered which is supposed to stop it, but it obviously hasn't. @yethwa Even when it auto-resizes, there’s no harm in being able to adjust the size.

I think that it is not needed, automatically resize of the Window when I change font sizes is good idea. And one more thing why sometimes time flashes every second?

Do you mean to automatically resize the Window to when you change font sizes? If so, I'm planning to implement that in the next release. @yethwa Thanks.
