This thread is for bringing into reality luvnbeast's brainchild as expressed in this post:

The program requirements can be extracted as:

an alarm feature instead of a shutdown option instead? By having the computer play m3u's or even a folder of music as an option.

It would turn it into an alarm clock as well and be even more valuable as a minimalistic app especially if you kept the same options to delay the alarm

remake the shut down 8 app into the tiniest timer/alarm/timed shutdown program!

Upon activation of the program, a menu opens with the options to shutdown, restart, hibernate, or timer to shutdown...

in a cascading menu you have 10 minute shutdown, 30 minute shutdown, 1 hour shutdown or a 2 hour shutdown.

Then upon selecting the timed shutdown, a popup window with a counter tells you how long until shutdown... which is changeable with +- buttons next to the timer.

So either TIMP could be bundled and put in the same folder as this alarm program or the alarm program could be separated with TIMP inside of it (most of the core programming). Thus being a small wake up timer.

The GitHub repo is opened for "ShutdownB":

--a very direct wink to the "8" :), as well as intending being another take, or version... a B-side with its own plus :up:


Feel free to brainstorm here as the program becomes ALIVE,

Okay!  :) I think this is what you want in the menu (with a plus):



Alarm:



Now I continue developing the main form's action! :Thmbsup:

Update: Improved the timer menu to include all actions :-*



Added settings menu with an option to modify alarm command line, so it is now universal:



ShutdownB development continues!  :up:

ShutdownB's GUI is shaped

This is amazing... and diabolical at the same time!   :P  :Thmbsup: Yet I am almost scared of some kind of copyright infringement due to the icon they used.... Might we be able to change the icon in the tray and popup timer window? I mean shrinking a picture shouldn't be too much of a problem... Even a shrunk picture of Frankenstein might work...
