Reading during breaks

Q:Could you implement support for reading the screen during a break?

A:We often receive requests from users that would like to keep on reading the screen during a micropause. Think of implementing support for transparent micropause windows, or making the micropause window position configurable. No. Really, you should not be reading the screen during a micropause. Adding support for the requested feature defeats the purpose of Workrave. Relax your eyes, and stare past the monitor during a micropause. Even if you are not suffering from eyestrain, please keep in mind that staying put in the same position while reading the screen is not good for your wrists as well. By staying in the same position you restrict the bloodflow to your arms, which increases their tension recovery time.
