--- Comment #2 from Mike Doherty <m...@mikedoherty.ca> --- (In reply to comment #1) > BTW—did you try timer? ;-) I didn't understand what it was. I thought it might be for automatically advancing the slide deck or something. The pop-up should be labelled to explain its purpose. After reading your comment, I gave it a try again. The text countdown is quite unobtrusive. I'd prefer something more conspicuous so it's easily visible, even when on stage, which might involve nervousness, lights shining in your eyes and/or darkness ;) I'd recommend a simple numerical countdown as well, certainly near zero, when seconds might actually matter (think of a lightning talk with a hard limit of five minutes). It also doesn't count into the negative, which would be very helpful when you have a "soft target" -- a time limit that you can go over. For example, if you're scheduled for one hour, and you want to talk for 45 minutes to leave time for questions, it'd be nice to be able to go over, but still keep track of how much you've gone over. Finally, the UI for picking the time is pretty bad - if you need 45 minutes, for example, you have to scroll through 30 lines of numbers before getting there. Can we pick something better? I'll attach screenshots of two examples shortly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
