Please note that this release was designed for and tested on the latest version of Windows 10 (Version 2004) and might not be compatible with anything below Windows 10 Creators Update (Redstone 2 / Version 1709 / Build 15063).

The latest release tested on Windows 7 was v1.0.2.

This release adds support for high DPI screens.

This release includes several general improvements:

• Right-clicking the countdown-window will bring up a context menu
• The shutdown, restart, logout and lock functions now use Windows APIs
• The icon should appear way better

The context menu also got more functional:

• Time remaining is now shown
• Option to restart the application or just the timer

This release includes some polishing for the option to run the timer in the background:

• Improved window managment (it does a much better job at hiding itself)
• Added tray icon with cancel button
• Added casual notifications

Also, the application now closes after the power action got executed.

My application is now on the Microsoft Store and you can download it from there. This has the big advantage of automatically updating once a newer version is available.

There are also some other advantages, such as:

• Install and removal with one click
• No junk left behind
• No unknown publisher warning

Hello and thank you so much for checking out my first release.

Features:

• Simple and easy to use UI
• Supports all major power options (shutdown, restart, sleep, etc.)
• Forces the shutdown so that no application can stop it
• Changes background color based on remaining time
• Can run in the background
• Lightweight and small file size
• No internet connection and no ads

I recommend that you install the application so you can easily find it but there's also a portable version available if you need it.
