frogger Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I finally got it working, but how do you get it to say, until christmas or untill my birthday etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XgD Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Just add it to the 'Format' box onn the settings page, eg: $D Days - $H:$M:$S until Summer XgD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XgD Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 XgD - do you want a home page for this? I don't think so... I've pretty much finished with this project now (unless anyone else has anything to add) so there wouldnt be much updates. plus its got its own thread on Neowin, which would probably get more hits anyway. Thanks for the offer though. XgD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsalih Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Doesn't appear to support dual monitor. Want to put it on my second monitor.. with my calendar.. contacts.. widgets etc... but it wont move onto it. Any chance for a fix for this?

XgD Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 OK; I've added an option to the Misc tab to stop it from preventing you moving it off-screen. I don't have multi-monitors etc to test this so if it doesn't work, or only partly works, give me a yell and I'll have another look. http://www.josolyne.demon.co.uk/countdown.zip Thanks XgD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsalih Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Yep, it lets me move it onto my second monitor :) Although having "Enable Automatic Size/Positioning" ticked by default had me a little puzzeled as it kept jumping back onto my main monitor :p On a side note, what did you use to develop this app and how did u get it to be transparent. I'm trying to make a form transparent using AlphaBlend and it just doesn't want to work :( MdSalih Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XgD Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 I used Delphi 6. To make it transparent, set AlphaBlend to True, then set AlphaBlendValue to 0-255 depending on how transparent you want it. XgD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velkymx Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 XgD - can you package it in an installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XgD Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yes... but as it is only one file, I don't see much need. Whats the reasoning? XgD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velkymx Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The reason being to create short cuts easily as well as add an uninstall option. Just makes it easy to deploy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XgD Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Well, it's been a while since I updated this app, so I've fixed a few more bug thingies, added thingies, and its all packaged in a nice installer for velkymx.

dot1910 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I would like to suggest the timer to recur hourly or x hourly such as 8 hourly countdown to remind me to take medicine. It will be nice to have such an additional feature. Thanks for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynomite Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) FYI: dot1910's post should be disregarded as the feature was already incorporated into the program. Instead of bothering the author, I was wondering if any of the users; or, I guess the author could tell me the format string to allow two lines to show up. For example... right now it is $D Days - $H:$M:$S ---> 14 days - 08:07:43 I would like it to say: FAT EXAM: $D Days - $H:$M:$S displayed as Fat Exam: 14 days - 08:07:43 But I cannot figure out what the code is for newline. Tried: /n /r \n \r ; not sure what else to try... any ideas? Or not possible. Or just have it word wrap? Any info would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This End Up Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 could you possibly make it available at another website? my browser (Google Chrome) says the links that contain the .zip AND the installer are both broken...i really wanna use this application and i cant find it anywhere DX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
