It's About Time
Added 2022-12-19 00:53:13 +0000 UTCHere's another nice improvement to the DarqUI Clock that I think you'll enjoy. In that video we discussed a default countdown timer, configurable up to 99 minutes. But what if you want to track a zone reuse timer without hitting Alt+Z over and over, or maybe get a reminder for your food and drink duration? Those are most often measured in hours, not minutes. Darq Side member badndash raised the question in Discord recently, so clearly it was "time" to revisit countdown timer choices.
The result is not just a longer maximum duration, up to nine hours, but now each of your characters can configure up to five separate timer specs for a variety of different purposes. Each timer slot can be configured with its own alarm up to two minutes ahead of the timer's expiration. And if you decide to set up more than one spec, you can choose which one will be ready and waiting as your default timer when you log in.
Selecting and starting a timer is just a click or two away -- you don't even have to open the Window Manager. Just click the selection button to cycle though the five slots, then hit the start button. Easy!
Everything else works like before -- you can make immediate changes to the countdown by using the mouse wheel over the timer face, even while the timer is running. You can choose a different alarm sound or temporarily disable an alarm by clicking the orange checkbox.
Thanks to badndash for the idea and for testing and feedback on the new premium code. Timers have gotten more usable and customizable, so now there's no excuse for being late to the raid!
