Is your feature request related to a problem or a limitation? Please describe... no

Describe the solution you'd prefer It would be simple if you could just type in how long you want the countdown to be, this way you dont have to wait for the numbers to slowly climb up.

image Leaving the old left and right marker but letting the the user type in the time aswell should booth fit without much of a design change.

That would require replacing Qt's material theme with a custom theme of our own since it's the theme itself that's inhibiting this feature.

I've set and debugged those inputs using KDE's breeze themes. They work well and allow you to set the value directly. Unfortunately the current theme is the only one to work flawlessly across all platforms, including Android. Most other themes result in a white or gray background when running on that platform.

The best solution to this is clone the Material theme and modify it to implement this change. Unfortunately for us, there's almost no documentation on how to do this in Qt. (Which is a bit of a surprising fact, because Qt's documentation is overall great!)
