Hi, Can you create an option in Workrave that warns the user about an upcoming break/pauze 20 or 30 seconds in advance ? This way the user can anticipate on a break and finish the sentence he/she is working on before the actual break/pauze message forces him to stop. This might save a number of time ignoring the break. The warning could be a popup message or "hotmail" style (poping out of the system tray). It should appear and disappear quickly (within 2 - 3 sec), attract attention (more than the timers do) and should not prohibit the user from his work. Thanks for the great work done so far. I like the new timer-in-toolbar a lot and also the networking-timer is great (although not working correctly always). Bram.

Hi, I'm not quite sure I understand your request. Currently, if a break is coming up, a window appears in the middle of the screen, though it moves out of the way quickly. Then, it sits near the border of the screen for about 30 seconds, until I stop working and start taking a break, or if I don't stop working it goes away. It does attract attention, but does not keep me from working. So I'm not sure how your request is different from the current situation?

You are right, sorry. I immediately stopped working when i saw the popup window, probably afraid for the zoom if you keep on working. Kind regards, Bram.
