Better visual feedback for timeouts #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently we have the auditory feedback of the timer. Then we have the 
setFocus feedback, which in windows for instance marks the program yellow 
in the taskbar. 

Maybe we should have something more.

Bring to front seems bugged in AIR and does not work on Vista. Always on 
top has the same problems. Maybe we could spawn a dialog or even a new 
window which says timeout? Maybe let the timer when it reaches 00:00 blink 
for a couple of seconds?

Just flashing the app screen would help, along with perhaps with flashing in 
the task
bar.

The following is now taking place when a Pomodoro times out:
1. The clock rings (auditory)
2. The application is set to notification. This makes it 'active' (yellow) in 
windows
Vista. 
3. The application should be moved to the front. This does not work on Vista 
(AIR issue).
4. The counter text, red 00:00, is blinking with 300ms interval until the break 
starts.
