Configurable display format #141

It'd be great to be able to configure how time is being displayed. I personally dislike the long format 2 hours 13 minutes 41 seconds and wish it to be just 02:13:41. It'd be also great if the format is "fixed" so if I set the timer to countdown from 13 secs it would still show as 00:00:13.

Best if I could simply set HH:MM:SS (for zero padded counters, like said 02:13:41 orH:MM:SSto get2:13:41) by hand which would additionally allow me to get rid of seconds completely (justHH:MM`)

I second this request and would enhance it not only for display but also for input purposes. I am from Germany and we do not use the am/pm postfixes but simply 00-23 for the hour. Today I wanted an alarm on 11:54 (on, not in!). When I enter 11:54 hourglass assumes I want an alarm in 11 hours and 54 minutes. But I wanted an alarm at 11:54, so I had to enter 11:54 am. This is not very intuitive for me as a German :-)

It's a small detail, but it would be perfect if one could choose the language in which the timer is displayed (as for the input, it's not really a big deal because often it's more intuitive to type in "30m 2s" than "30 minutes et 4 secondes" as in its french extended form).

ps. Your timer is just AWESOME 👍.
