I should add: I'm doing this because I don't like the org-clock-display.

I have detailed this in another post, but in summary:

- It doesn't work very well with indent turned on (I have a sort of patch for this)
- Alignment of the the numbers seems wrong
- It messes up the "..." when you fold a node
- Headlines are not editable

(I customised the font face after sending my previous email on this topic.)

Even if we manage to fix org-clock-display (and I am willing to help) I think cookies feel very natural here also.

Not sure what to do about estimates.

I don't use estimates, so I hadn't thought about that.

"[01:10]" would mean I had spent 1hr 10m on this node, and all subnodes. Similarly, "[2d 01:10]" would mean I had spent 2d, 1hr, and 10m on this node, and all subnodes.

I've already started hacking on this, and can share the patch if it's something you're interested in reviewing/integrating.

Would this [01:10] cookie mean that you spent one minute on ten
minutes of efforts?

The question is more to give you a chance to convince me,
because while I find the idea quite appealing, I think we're
growing a bit too fat cookie-wise.
