Cool timer

Harmony Hollow's Cool Timer is a free 99-hour timer with countdown and  stopwatch functions plus the ability to play any , WAV, or MIDI sound file as  an alarm as well as display a scrolling message to remind you why you set the  timer in the first place. Cool Timer's small interface is skinned in garishly bright colors that  certainly help make it visible on the desktop, but it's sy to change the  program's skin color as well as the colors of the digits and buttons, or to  select default colors for maximum visual integration. Cool Timer  displays hours, minutes, and seconds to two digits. The interface presents a  large Start button and six smaller buttons labeled Options, Reset, Presets,  Tray, Help, and About. The Options page let us select and test an alarm sound from a drop-down list  that included the default alarm, an old-time car horn, or we could browse to our  own file; we could also set the alarm to loop or play once. There is a text  field for messages that scroll in a pop-up window when the alarm is triggered.  Again, this handy extra can remind you why you set the timer in the first place,  which might be entirely too sy to forget if you set it to count down the full  99 hours. We could also set "always on top" and window size choices. The program  offers Countdown, Wake, and Stopwatch Modes. We selected Countdown, entered a  message, and set our interval. Cool Timer counted down the seconds, sounded the  alarm, and displayed our message on time. The Stopwatch mode only offers  1-second intervals, but it's more than adequate for the kitchen or other eral  uses. Wake mode serves as an alarm clock. The Presets button let us add and load  preconfigured timer settings so there's no need to manually re-enter them ch  time. Cool Timer's fully srchable Help file did a fine job of explaining the  program's surprisingly flexible options and ftures. We'd like the ability to  select custom colors via the usual color picker since the program only  offers six options. Beyond that, it's hard to complain.
