No visual feedback when timer reaches zero #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start timer.
2. When timer reaches zero, a sound plays, but there is no visual feedback
to alert the user when pomodairo is hidden behind other windows or is
minimized.

Many developers or other business users do not have the ability to hear
sound output (not to mention the hearing impaired), or at least would not
want to interrupt others around them with such noise. A visual alert would
serve better in this scenario, for example, to move the window to the
forefront and/or make it flash in the task bar.

Otherwise, thanks for the handy tool! I hope we see it improve over time.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

pomodairo V1.0 on Windows XP SP3.

I second this. Setting priority to high.

I have added standard visual user notification (on windows this means that the
application will flash or be highlighted in the taskbar). I also tried adding
bring-to-front, but does not seem to work very well on Vista...
