Feature Request: Mute button when timer finishes #233

I think it would be great if there was an ability to mute the timer after it finishes while still maintaining the red/flashing expired state. I like to have looping sound on my alarms but I can't always stop what I'm doing immediately. It would be nice to be able to mute the alarm but still keep it in its expired state.

That's an interesting request. You can temporarily mute the Hourglass application using Windows's built-in sound mixer (see, e.g., here), though this isn't exactly as convenient as a built-in function would be.

Agreed that that's not quite as convenient - that takes a few clicks through menus, whereas I have the timer set to always stay on top so it's right there and easy to click.
