Hi Ray,

In theory someone could create a theme that had a full-screen countdown, in addition to the control panel's progress bar. Though I forget if the break duration is available to themes at present; that could be added if not.

I'll add this to my list of theme ideas, but if anyone wants to tackle it, let me know.

In the meantime, another idea could be to add actions, e.g. a sound or speech, to give you audible notice of 1 minute remaining, 30 seconds remaining, etc. That is available now.
