Cooking Timer

Cooking Timer is a handy widget that was designed in order to help you configure the timer duration.

This small application displays a highly intuitive interface, which enables both beginners and experienced users to work with it without encountering issues. The main window includes hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, play and stop buttons. Moreover, you can access the timer configuration panel, in which you can control the countdown and make use of the presets available (4 hours, 55 minutes, 1 minute etc.).

There are two sizes available for the widget, so as to make the countdown more visible or get it out of the way, when it is not needed.

The settings window enables you to check for updates, change the skin, font, corner style (rounded, diagonal, square) and key position (top or bottom). In addition to that, you can show or hide seconds, milliseconds and zeros in countdown (01 or 1), control alarm sound, set the volume and number of times to play the audio file, and restore the gadget settings.

Right clicking on Cooking Timer brings up a context menu that closely resembles the one present in most Windows gadgets. To be more exact, users can add other widgets, move the main window or change its size. Aside from that, they can access the options panel, force the tool to always stay on top of other apps and control the opacity (from 20% to 100%).

In conclusion, Cooking Timer is an efficient application with a very good response time and minimal usage of CPU and memory. No bugs or errors were registered during our tests.
