Before I was aware of org-mode, I developed this small superkaramba
timer application which would display which task I was working on, when
I started it, how much time was left, and also the current time. I've
attached a snapshot of that app to this email.
Now I'm using org-mode extensively which has reignited my love for
emacs. I know org-mode displays the current task and the elapsed time on
the emacs modeline which is good. I was wondering if it would be
possible to generate a separate automatic emacs frame (which is compact
and for all intents and purposes looks like a simple xwindow) with the
task name, the elapsed time etc. from org-mode as soon as you clock in .
This would allow for this timer window to be on all desktops for e.g
without being intrusive.
Right now, I basically manually enter this info into my custom timer
when I clock in and out of a task in org-mode.
Not sure whether others using org-mode feel a similar need or whether
they use any other methods...
Thanks,
Jose

Hmmm, I don't really see the need/use for this, so I am not going to
implement it. Maybe I can provide you with a hook and you write a
package
to use this hook?

That would be good! I'll see if I can do something around that. Now that
you've said that "you don't really see the need" for this, I suppose,
everyone else would agree with you!! :-) After all, you managed to make
an april fool's joke and everyone jumped on your bandwagon not realizing
it was a joke! Such is your moral power, my friend!! :-)

:-) Ahh, that was great fun. I guess from now on that power will be
significantly reduced.
