Prevent (or option to prevent) stealing focus when timer is up #255

Closed mishaxz closed 9 months ago

mishaxz commented 9 months ago

It is quite distracting when the timer window pops up when it has expired, and steals focus.

Often I'm in the middle of typing, and focus shifts away from my IDE and i type some characters into the timer window.

Can you either not make it steal focus (i.e. not become the active window) .. or .. have an option to disable it from stealing focus/becoming active window?

I use the timer to tell me to take a break, so I the timer will complete many times a day
