Display a realtime/dynamic stopwatch/timer?

Simplistic Countdown Timer

Simplistic Countdown Timer (8.1 KB) I pained over whether to post this because it's probably very basic to most folks. I took the timer that Peter had posted and trimmed it down smaller, no scroll bars, soft color, off to the upper left of screen and had it call a large display text window when done (so that I have to address it!). It also captures the current system volume setting, turns it up to xx, then restores the volume when done. I've been getting a lot of use out of it, thought maybe…

It should be straight forward to adapt that to your purposes.
