Add visual alarm #18

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I'm using pomodairo at work, and I can't use the alarm sound: I'm working
in an open space and my co-workers will be disturbed. I would like to have
a visual alarm, for example, blinking icon or blinking very large window.

Is it possible to do this with air technology ?

We are a bit limited by using AIR since it does not give direct access to the 
underlying OS API. However, we have added a notification to the OS by the 
application 
when the time runs out. On windows, this means that the application will blink 
in the 
start bar if not on top. I do not know if this works on all windows versions or 
on 
other OS's. 

Maybe we can make some sort of alert box pop-up? We are open for suggestions! =)

For Mac OS X (10.6) this isn't giving an visual notification. But, apparently 
you can
make the dock icon bounce using the DockIcon.bounce() method:
