Take a Break -- Re: less sophisticated pause her

The jumping box doesn't annoy me, but it's not a good thing either. I 
don't find it annoying, because my mind has learnt to ignore it!

I think my mind has learnt to cope in this way, because it didn't 
like the countdown bar, which the mind took as a prompt to quickly 
end what you're doing before the time is up!

As for dimming, that would be impossible to ignore. I think it's the 
most elegant way. Hope the developers agree.
