Preferences - Timer - Monitoring

  • Use alternate monitor

    In some rare cases Workrave may fail to detect your activity. In this case you can enable this option to instruct Workrave to use a different way of monitoring your activity.

  • Mouse sensitivity

    Workrave tries to ignore small movements of the mouse pointer. The higher this value, the lower the sensitivity.
