Feature request: visually recognize started/stopped state

Unread postby kae99 » Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:00 pm

First of all, congratulations for this great program!

I missed that I cannot visually recognize if, a stopwatch which shows hour and minutes, is in active or stopped state.

It would be very useful in my scenario where I use 2-3 always-on-top stopwatches in compact mode to control and visualize the time dedicated to different activities. They only show hour and minutes (I have found that seconds and beyond become distracting/annoying :). However, I can not easily recognize which one(s) of them is started/stopped in each moment and I have found myself right-clicking on them too often to check the status.

My proposal is that there could be an unintrusive visual indicator to recognize if the stopwatch is active. I think that a change in the digits/background color would be very good (e.g. lighter color when active, darker when stopped, or the more complex user configurable). A colored border frame to indicate the active status would also work :)

Could this be considered? Thank you very much.
