Java Desktop Timer
As an exercise to learn the GUI-building
capabilities of the NetBeans IDE, practice file access and
threading,
and to help me when I couldn't find my timer, I wrote this program. Three timers can be set to count down
(because that's what timers should do), then will play a user-selected alarm sound (MP3 or WAV), and flash fun colors.
Reminders can be typed in to remind you why the timer is beeping.
When you first run it, a folder (soundsDir) is created, where you can put the timer sounds. I prefer NES game themes.
Click on the screenshot to download, source is included.
MP3 sounds are played by using the JLayer library.
