Feature - Option to set it to Flashing when no tasks are tracked #12

Hi there. First of all congratulations for Light Tasks tool. I love its simplicity in an age when we tend to over-complicate everything. I'm not sure if this project is still active, but if it is I have one feature suggestion: Can the tool have a setting so the user can set it to flash when no tasks are being tracked? Reasons: When I track my time for a project which I then bill to a customer (I work from home) and I have to stop for any reason (let's say lunch, etc), I stop the timer, but often when I get back to my desk I forget to restart it so I end up not tracking part of my worked time. Having it flushing will make it obvious for me when I get back to my desk. Note: I used another tool that had an interesting feature for this: It detected the activity in the PC and when idle for more than 10 min or so, then when activity was detected again it asked you want to add that idle time to the total or eliminate it; this way it allowed you to keep it (let's say you were reading a manual but still working), or discard it (if you went for lunch). Although I think a feature like this would be beyond the scope of a simple tool like this one that you may want to keep it simple. Thanks again and great job! German P.

Hi German P. Thanks for the feature request. I'm glad you find this tool useful. It's true that I haven't worked on this project for a while. However, I've been thinking of fixing up some bugs and implementing some features in the future. I'll definitely note down your request when I start working on it again.

Thanks. Shafqat
