Don't be offended. Its just a pretty simple application and there isn't much to comment on. It looks good for what it is and seems like you're off to a good start with DarkBASIC Professional. I didn't get round to using plugins for quite a while when I started; I got confused enough with the native commands! Sorry if I've misjudged as I am basing this on the simplicity of the program and your join date. However, my point stands, don't be disheartened by the lack of comments and definitely keep programming; you can only get better and as you do you'll get more comments.

echoing TEH_CODERER's comments here, shaunrw. i took a look at it it's it's some real bare-bones stuff but i would like to see you continue development by adding additional functions. also, i'd like to see it as a single window vs 2. minimal apps/utilities like this should leave a minimal footprint (think windows media player running in the taskbar). here are some suggestions:

1) consolodate the 2 screens into 1.

2) make the buttons smaller.

3) add window "docking" and "stay on top" options.

4) instead of separate 5,10, etc, min timer buttons, maybe have 1 preset and then a prompt where the user can input hours/mins/secs (and, perhaps, remembering that amount the next time the user launches the app by allowing for profile saves). what i'm thinking here is, perhaps, people want to limit their computer time to, say, an hour at a time. this would be an easy way to accomplish that.

5) add sound. alarms/timers need audiable alerts.

i'm sure you can think of some other useful time-related functions so be creative
