Re: less sophisticated pause her

Hi guys. I am not mac user, but I looked screenshots of TimeOut - they are
nice, but it's not about the design. I mean,  the break should not be
force. For this purpose, the Workrave has a small jumping window , but it
has several drawbacks:

1. It can really bring down the job, for example if I draw something or
drag.
2. If I can not relax, the jumping  window becomes very annoying
3. The window appears again after a time interval. In different situations
need different times.

The idea of brightness, is not so important for a big break. Its more
important for a little break (micro-pause). Because they are more frequent.
Positives:

1. Reduce the brightness does not interfere with work.
2. Less annoying.
3. We do not need intervals with varying brightness. Brightness decreases
once before the break. After reducing the brightness, we go to the state
"needs a rest". And the rest will start immediately after 5 seconds of
inactivity.
