    very cool

    a nice feature could be shut down the monitor and turn on with a hotkey (like alt+o) or another

    windows can turn off the monitor after x minutes , but it's enough a vibration of the table to turn on again o_O o_O o_O

    thanks

    When I try the portable version, just after execution, it tries to download some files from the Net (and fails because I am behind a firewall). For a portable software, that's an odd behavior.

    Edited : I think it requires .NET 3.x ?

    the portable version requires two dll's which I have uploaded to my server. Since I wanted the portable version really small in file size and also the smallest amount of files to download I thought to request a download from my server.

    And yes it does require .NET 3.5

    hi I was actually looking for a way to do that since I wanted that gunctionality for myself. Buy it isn't possible to actually power off the monitor.

    I'll stick it on the roadmap, but I'll have to do some research on it.

    Re: news

    I guess so,

    I will figure this out and see if I can release an update for it.

    Is there anything else? How's the program going, running ok?

    As a note to everyone,
    If you like this software, it will be very helpful for a review, the best place for this is CNet and it'll be great if I can pick up a good review rating there.

    To make a review on the:

    32 Bit version - go here
    64 Bit version - go here

    What do you guys think of what v2.7/3.0 looks like?
    If your wondering why the Networking Options is highlighted and the Time & Date Options is being shown it's because I'm just giving a little demo on what happens if you move the mouse over the icons.

    Feedback and your views on it will be great.

    OK guys,

    I have almost completed the Shutdown Timer Program, 90% of the functionality is there and there are a few niggles that need to be fixed but it's in working condition. I'm just posting this up for feedback from you guys so I can make further changes etc.

    Screenshot

    Changes:
    • Completely Recoded from the ground up
    • Introduced multi threading (Now starts up and works 10x faster than v2.5)
    • Addition of effects
    • Ability to open a file or process when the timer finishes
    • Ability to check if a process is running or not running (the idle part does not work yet)

    Problems:

    • An error with Windows XP, the issue will be resolved in the Beta

    Download

    Please provide feedback, this build is just so I know what to do for the next changes.

    Thanks everyone for your input!
