New Features and new App Pack

Both Timer Widget and Countdown Widget now have ringtone notification support. This can be configured in the settings screen. To enable mp3 support simply install the free "Rings Extended" app provided by Google on the Android Market.

Both Timer Widget and Countdown Widget also now have full font color configuration. Use the RGB sliders or enter hex values to pick from 16 million possible colors.

Also, I now have all three of my timing widgets in a single bundled version on the Android Market. Search for "Timing Widgets" to get all three in one download at a discounted price. This pack includes the latest version of Countdown Widget, Timer Widget and Stopwatch Widget.

New Widget!

I have just published a new widget on the Android market: Timer Widget. This is very similar in functionality to the Countdown Widget, but it counts down a specific time frame instead of a specific date/time. It works just like a kitchen timer!

You can scan this barcode on your Android device using a barcode scanning app such as "Barcode Scanner" to go directly to the Countdown Widget page in the Android Market.

Countdown Widget is a configurable home screen widget for Android devices that counts down to a configured date/time. The counter is displayed in Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds format.

Configuration options:

• Title
• Date/Time
• Text Color
• Enable/Disable notification alerts
