Clock: Option to show countdown on lock-screen
asked 2014-01-28 18:51:18 +0200
Add an option to have timer countdowns be visible on lock-screen.
Most of the time the contrast is so bad that you cannot read it from the cover on home-screen and need to tap the cover to get a clue...
Often used as kitchen-timer this could be a useful enhancement.
For now I am only asking for "displaying" what do you think?
Ideas on how to display:
- not interfering with the design, displayed as timer notification item like IM/SMS etc.
- above the alarm-icon being able to peek, available on lock-screen and not in-your-face (my fav)
- Centered circular timer on lock-screen, easy to read

I don't understand exactly what you mean? Do you want to replace the default "clock" in the homescreen with a countdown timer?
I also wish that I could see the clock without having to wake the screen "N9" style

The answer box is what "pops up" when you want to comment on something, to actually make a comment there's the "hidden" link you have to click to get the comment box. Give new users some slack. :)
Regarding the question, this is very closely related with configuring the lock screen in large. I would call it a duplicate even. But I do agree that it's a good idea.

@Henque19 a temporary display of a timer does not really, does it? It could be displayed like a notification item to stay in terms of the HYC - will add it to the suggestion
