-----------------------------
Visual Timer Colors:
- GREEN - Plenty of time. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
- YELLOW - Not much time left. Now its time to start "finish up" / "increase the pace" to get everything done.
- RED - Almost no time left. Hurry up and complete your tasks. It’s time to go/ it’s time to be finished.
----------------------------
The colors in Visual Timer are displayed in three ways:
- The clock - The analogue clock has colored disks that gets smaller as time goes by. First the green disk gets smaller, then yellow and finally the red one.
- Status light - To the left of the clock, a large round light is displayed with the color currently in use. The status light allows you to see the color phase you are in at the moment.
- Countdown bar - At the top of the screen, the colors and time are reproduced in the form of a horizontal bar, which also gets smaller as time goes by. Inside the indicator, the minutes left are shown with numbers.
