Timer Screensaver to display elapsed time or idle time
« on: September 11, 2010, 10:15 PM »
How about a small screensaver that can display elapsed time or time for which computer has been left idle? Does that sounds useful? In case yes, have a look at Timer ScreenSaver to know the configurable options and download it.

Hm, I don't need to know how long I was away... I'd be more interested to see how long it is going to take before the screensaver is actually going to be started, after leaving my system idle, but still sitting at my desk. But I guess that's another utility ;)
