Description: Widget (plasmoid) for plasma panel. Shows an icon when it is time to take a break. Problem: Sometimes you dont remember that you have to take a break. Sometimes you remember that you have to take a break, but you dont remember when you took a break last time. Solution: The Take a break widget, that shows an icon when it is time to take a break. Characteristics: * Not intrusive: It doesnt show any dialog nor any buttons to be clicked. It just shows an icon in the panel when it is time to take a break. * Unattended: You dont have to do anything. Everything is automatic. The widget detects when you are taking a break and when you come back. * Easy configuration: You only have to enter two values in the widget config: The work time and the break time. And of course, easy use: * At start, the widget shows a countdown with the minutes to take next break. * When the countdown reaches zero, a tired face icon is shown in the panel, with a red background. It means that it is time to take a break. * The tired face with the red background is kept if you continue working. * If you are idle for 50 seconds (not using mouse nor keyboard), the program considers that you are taking a break, and shows a yellow background in the tired face. * If you are idle for the configured break time, the program considers that you have completed the break, and shows a green background in the tired face. * If you come back (use the mouse or keyboard) while showing the green background, the countdown will be shown and restarted. * If you come back while still showing the yellow background, the program considers that you havent completed the break, so a red background will be shown again. * What if you took a short break, but you want to restart the countdown? No problem, you only have to click on the widget whenever you want to restart the countdown. The widget works in horizontal panels and in vertical panels. REQUIRES * KDE 5 (Plasma 5).
