Managing the Animation Settings

To open the settings dialogue you can use one of two methods.
1. Double-Click the program icon in the task-bar.
2. Right-Click the program icon in the task-bar and select “Set-Up” from the pop-up menu.

Before we begin, the OK button means close the window but keep the program running and Quit, means Quit.

Don't worry, I mistakenly shut the program down from time to time too.

Animation Settings

What's a program without a bit of glitz !!!

The program comes with four canned animations. All were created by me and are horribly simplistic but get the job done. To be truthful, Radar I <ahem> borrowed from an open source program and altered.

The animations are primarily intended for use where the messages and sounds have both been turned off – but you can use them any time you want.

Timer Running
There are three selections here; None, Radar and Spinner. If you would like to have visual indication that the timer is running, select either Radar or Spinner.

Timer Completed
There are three selections here ... None, Flash Cards and Marquee. If you would like to have visual indication that the timer had completed its count-down select either Flash Cards or Marquee.


Refresh Button
As changing the selection in either Timer Running or Timer Completed will change the animation state of the program icon, giving you live-time visual indication to support your preference regardless of the time status, you need to be able to return things to current status indication. Clicking on the Refresh button will do this for you.
