Customize green image that appears on screen?

Tue, 2011-03-15 17:41 — ulysses

In Time Out 2, it would be great to see a way to customize the green image that fades in on the screen.

Or if that's too hard, at least provide a choice of images, or allow the option of no image at all.

I would pay for this feature.

Yes, one of the planned features in version 2 will be custom themes — enabling you to either choose from a selection of built-in images, or supply your own. And perhaps other content, e.g. reminder text or stretching exercises. (The options will probably be somewhat limited in 2.0, and expand over time.)

Thanks David. Will this feature be available in the app store's Time Out Express when it comes out?

And if so, is there a way to get a reminder when Time Out Express is available?

Yes, Time Out Express on the App Store, and the paid Time Out directly from this site, will include these custom themes and much more. The free editions will probably just have one fixed break theme, perhaps similar to the current one.

To get notified when Time Out 2 is available, you can do one or more of the following:
