Timepad

system requirements
windows OS*
32 bit / 64 bit
.net framework 3.5 SP1**

note : you dont need to have office installed to use this app or to use ribbons.
* as of now, still havent tested on other windows os other than windows 7.
it is more likely to run on newer machines like xp or vista
but i recommend using it on windows 7 so that you can fully enjoy all features.
** i recommend you use the latest updates for .net framework 3.5 above.

whats new in Timepad 0.6.5?

Lets take a peek at the new features and improvements in this new version.
Project name and icon. obviously, the app was renamed because this will
suit all the new and upcoming features just
better. hope you like it too.
User interface. the UI is massively remastered
but still keeping the good compact feel.
Full superbar integration. the app itself uses the
new innovative features in windows 7, but still
keeping the compatibility for other windows OS.
Jumplist - you can now quickly perform system actions with jumplist
tasks.
Progress meter - with just one glance youll
see how much approximate time is left.
Overlay icons - this gives you more the info
on the timer status or what system action is
active with just a peek at your taskbar.
Thumbnail toolbar is a great addition to
the superbar. which gives you full control on the timer without having
to restore the window. set up the timer from the taskbar.

 Redesigned icons. another changes made are the metrofied version of

icons. i call them mini metro. ;)
Time & date tab. another good addition is the
analog clock found in the time & date tab. Isnt it
fancy? :)
Panels. the biggest update in this version is, of
course none other than, panels. panels are the one that contains all those
missing features you can think of
with the introduction of panels, youll see that this is not just your ordinary
timer application. it is made to be customizable and user defined.
i have nothing more to say about it, explore and see it for yourself. ;P

(see screenshots for settings panel & advanced timer panel below)

 Settings reloaded. as you can see from the screenshots above. you will
notice the presence of settings as a panel. It is one of the main reasons
why panel is made. because with panels, you dont need to have
another window opened and it uses less window clutter in your desktop.
Timepad is your all-in-one
compact & fluent timer
application.

(a) computer idle time monitoring timer

with this, you may now specify the idle time for your computer
to do automated task such as performing system actions (i.e. shutdown, hibernate, etc.),
