@atreiu: good idea, will do (do you know of any other addon which does this?)

@NK4551: you're forgiven: I will definitely add a 'show alert' to the next version. I am looking at the feasibility of count to any future date and customizable colors. Meanwhile, you could replace/edit 'pane-icon yellow.png' in the extensions skin folder.

Simon

@ deOmega: will do, in next version.

Simon

New version posted; I look forward to feedback on the new features; I hope the icons look a bit sharper.

TODO:
1) resolve FocusTrack conflict
2) vertical alignment of timer
3) enable selection (drag and drop?) of a media item to play on return to Songbird (so timer can be used as a nap timer).

Simon

New version with ability to play a media item as part of the options uploaded.

Main screen should now be skinnable; (let me know if you want to skin the pop up screen, which I have not moved into CSS).

Some improvement with Focus Track (but its icon disappears when sleeptimer popup screen opens!)

I don't plan to add any more functionality to this but there is still some tidying up to do:

1) vertical alignment of timer
2) Focus Track issue

Bugs or comments here, or, if you want to be sure I get them, to songbird.sleeptimer@gmail.com

Verso,

Thinking about it, I don't think you can do all you want at present.

I will leave the current 'color choosing' options as they are, so that user chosen colors can be shown through any transparent parts of whatever icon is used. If you don't want user chosen colors to show, just replace the icon with a non-transparent one (background color = your skin background color)!

#sleeptimer_icon_box > #sleeptimer_icon [
list-style-image: url('chrome://SKINNAME/skin/NEW-ICON.png');
}

To let you change the icon to an animated one, I will have to change the code to set an attribute on the icon_box, so you can test:

#sleeptimer_icon_box [timing='true'] > #sleeptimer_icon [ //= active
list-style-image: url('chrome://SKINNAME/skin/NEW-ACTIVE-ICON.png');
}
#sleeptimer_icon_box [timing='special'] > #sleeptimer_icon [ //for the last minute
list-style-image: url('chrome://SKINNAME/skin/NEW-LAST-MINUTE-ICON.png');
}

OK?

Simon

Thanks for alignment fix.

The sleeptimer box does not have a background image; it picks up the standard sb faceplate styling by having id='faceplate'. That was the only way I could find to apply the appropiate sb styling. I raised a bug about that.

I'm happy to insert an element so that you can apply an image between the background and the digits and to move my highlighting to my CSS, so it can be changed. Then you can do:

#sleeptimerBox > #faceplate [timebox='timing'| 'highlight'|'special'] > #timerBackgroundImage|#activeHighlight|#seconds {
...
}

for active, last minute, last 30secs changes to background, highlight box and/or seconds text etc..

On a related but different topic: have you had a look at .searcher? It's the alpha release of an 'awesome' style toolbar, I started it on a while back and need to get on with. But I'm really at a loss as to how to proceed with presenting & styling the query results. If you had a minute to look at what (little) I've done so far and give your feedback I'd be most grateful.

@kanejo:

I'm not sure (I haven't got a Vista PC to try it on). What happens if you activate XP-shutdown.bat in sleeptimer?

Simon

I, now, don't believe that 'XP-shutdown.bat' will shutdown Windows Vista and Windows 7 but the command:

                         shutdown /s /t 10

should give a 10 second warning and shutdown Windows and turn off the PC on both Visa and Windows 7.

I'd be grateful, if someone would try it and let me know if it works, so I can make batch files to include with a future version of sleepTimer.

Simon

New version with better (working properly) number panel and Vista and Windows 7 shutdown files included posted

Simon

Last (few?) version(s) may be knocking out certain CSS settings, in SB or other add-ons (including some of my own!).

I'd appreciate more reports of this - with lots of details, please, so I can track down the bug...which is looking well hidden!

Simon

CSS bug fixed!

Simon

1)You can stop playback after the playing song, when the time is up, if the sleepTimer preferences are set as:

Stop playback - after finishing track
no track to play
no external file to start

Sleeptimer will finish the playing track and then just

Stay on the sleepTimer screen or
Return to Songbird.

Clicking the green arrow in the Sleeptimer display with time= 0:00 should cause SleepTimer to kick in immediately! So you get stop after current track.

There is another add-on: 'Stop after Current Track., which might do what you want.

I don't use Winamp, what does its 'Strg + V' do?

2) Just choose the appropriate 'Finally' option, on the SleepTimer preferences panel to 'Stay on the Sleeptimer screen' or
'Return to Songbird'.

I think I'll add a 'do sleepTimer actions now' shortcut ('Ctrl+Alt+S', if poss,) in the next version. (Probably next version bump).
