TakeABreak Gadget 1.0.1.0

This gadget is based on the TakeABreak application.

This gadget has been designed to help you manage your computer hours and breaks
to protect your eyes.

It features a small eye that blinks letting you know you should blink.
By default this gadget uses the 20 20 20 rule, for every 20 minutes you should
take a break of 20 seconds and look at an object 20 feet away (6 meters).
When break time arrives a sound is being played and the eye shuts.

Thanks for you correction. My English is not perfect (-:

Whoops. I meant "Take" not "Tke." Pretty dumb when I'm trying to correct English.

Your English is of course excellent. When TakeABreak says "Take a break until this message will disappear" it is totally understandable. But it would be idiomatic to say "Tke a break until this message disappears." Thank you for a nice program that does just what's needed in a simple, straightforward way

You can change the sound at any time by going to the gadget settings. Contact me at shynet@gmail.com and I will explain.

great app! Could you please add an option to select your own sound? That would really improve it's usability I think. (your included sound is too loud/long for my taste, actually it gets really annoying after a while) thanks a bunch! bye

I updated the gadget, it's now compatible with IE9, download it again and try it out

By fyn, at Oct 20, 2010

yes (looks sheepish as I didn't think of that - d'oh!)

This is a brilliant gadget - genius idea! I do have one question tho..... when my gaget blinks the background around it goes white, which is really obvious against my black background. Any ideas?
