This includes extension of preset configuration by time and message; customized fonts sizes and colors for Timer Window and Tray Icon, as well as option to display milliseconds; option to hide Timer Window on start and restore on countdown completion; extended sounds and actions configuration.
• List of standard presets extended. By default GTD Timer 2010 implements GTD 2-minute rule (represented by one standard preset) and Pomodoro technique (represented by two standard presets).
  Tray Icon font size is slightly lower by default and can be customized in preset settings. Default Tray Icon color is red.
• It is possible to display time with accuracy up to milliseconds.
• Stopwatch mode introduced. Now it is possible to use GTD Timer as Stopwatch. Stopwatch mode can be run by typing 'S' into Start Timer window time entering box or by special button linked to Stopwatch preset. Standard Stopwatch preset introduced with milliseconds display on by default and green font color in Timer Window.
• Now actions (in addition to stopping timer) include ability to count overtime (by default on in 'GTD 2-minute rule preset'), restart timer with current preset, restart with another preset or quit application.
  Ticker sound feature added. It is possible to set time period or choose custom sound file (in WAV format) for ticker.
• Timer Window redesigned. Name of the current preset used as window caption. Two fixed buttons with 2 and 10 minutes replaced with two "Quick Preset Buttons" A and B which are bound to presets in Settings window. This allows to launch preset with one click. Also added button with preset menu which shows full list of presets.
• Start Timer window redesigned. Now process starts with preset selection drop-box, if preset includes time and/or message corresponding fields in window are pre-filled. Time field complemented by special button which opens new "Set Time" dialog which allows to set time without keyboard. Selected preset configuration accessible via special button.
