Arrow Slider Timer

EDIT: v3.0 supercedes this old version. Check out this thread for more details.

Since resetting a digital timer requires reloading the UI, many people find it cumbersome to use. I've created a new type of timer which doesn't require reloading. Instead of resetting the timer, you simply move the slider to mark the position of the timer.

To start off, I made a mend timer for monks. This timer counts up to 6 minutes (duration of mend). Each segment represents 1 minute, and the bar is updated every tick (6-second intervals). (The bar shown uses the Vert gauge graphics.)

To use the timer, move the slider to the position of the bar when you use mend. It will take 6 minutes for the bar to reach the slider again.

Edit: Links to the prototype version have been removed because new version is now available. Visit the timer home page for details.

Coming soon:
I'm currently in the process of updating the timer customization tool to include options for the "slider" timer. New options will include:
  • Multiple slider timers with various custom durations
  • User-specified number of slider timers
  • Custom text and time labels for each bar
  • User-specified color for each timer bar
  • Additional window options and advanced options
