Visible timer

[hydezeke]

This tool is a —superb— resource for artists doing speed drawing exercises. Most sites only have human figures, but with redditp I can essentially make playlists of whatever I want to draw. (e.g. an urbanism playlist: CityPorn+CarPics+streetphotography etc)

A visible timer would help a lot, even if it were very small. I could throw it together if a pull request would be welcome.

Thanks again for the great tool!

Yeah. Makes sense. Where would the timer stripe go?

[hydezeke]

Thanks! Is it weird to the right of the nav bar? Would give it enough space if it needed more digits.

I was thinking maybe something more visual and less textual like:

Though I'm not sure where the bar should go.

Like, top, bottom, left, right of the control box? Should the bar grow or shrink as time elapses? What color?

[hydezeke]

I think the thin bar along the top looks good. If it goes along the top, it won't move too much when the box changes/expands. The bar growing left -> right makes more sense to me personally (feels more like "time until done" rather than "time running out").

Makes sense.
