I'd like to have a countdown timer in my taskbar on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine with Unity 2D. My use case is primarily time management, for example 'countdown from 30 minutes, and I'll take a break when the timer finishes.' I installed gnome-shell-timer by doing sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-timer. As you suggest I have this working in my little timer/reminder script already. If a user inputs one hour 30 minutes 30 seconds it displays on the final popup reminder gui: Elapsed: 1 hour 30 minutes 30 seconds Where I'm completely lost is displaying this in the countdown. The above code easily displays and counts down 5430 seconds on the taskbar.
Timer is a special feature of clock which is used to set predetermined time interval. Timers are operated in measuring time period. When the clock reaches the set time duration, it indicates the time with the use of a beep sound or a notification. In day to day life, timers are practically very useful.
