Pomodoro: Alternative number format: arabic / decimal #2003

Open dorsiflexion opened 4 months ago

Can we have an alternative number format for the pomodoro count in the pomodoro block, please?

Currently, the pomodoro count looks like this, e.g. for 11 pomodors: |||||||||| This number format is pretty hard to count, because you need your mouse cursor to not miscount the bars (pipes or whatever they are). It would be so much easier and waste less space if it was just an arabic decimal number: 11

I have a config option in mind – a separate boolean would probably be the simplest way. Doing it via format is likely not the way to go as it is applicable to this one block only.

Oh, and if you don't believe me yet: I bet you didn't notice that I wrote “11 pomodoros” and just put 10 bars there. Yeah, it's just not easily countable.

PS: Thanks for your work on this software. 💖

I'll take a look at this + tackling some of the todos noted in the block.
