Rate my design

Hi everyone

I've designed a new look for the next version of my software but I need a few points on what people think on the UX of it.

It is meant to be a Shutdown Timer - http://www.sinvise.net/software/shutdown-timer

But I'm trying to make use of widescreen monitors and also having literally no changes in views so everything can be seen from one window.

As you can see on the first bar there is a task, 01 Time, this bar will list all tasks, and the greyish bar behind it is a progress bar to let the user know how long til the task is completed.

The rest of the design merely speaks for itself.

Thoughts please, this is still in alpha/planning stages so I still have a bit to work on.

Thanks

No one can critique on design elements for software? I just need a few pointers if this is appealing to anyone.

Thanks

Love it, can you pump commands via command line too it as well?

What type of commands?

I don't know? That's why I was asking. I like the GUI. I run on OSX though so tested this in a VM.

Well there's no need for commands to be pushed to it since it's all based in the app.

This is going to be the new version released in a couple of months along with my new website. Decided everything needed a clean up.

I can't see how more tidy you could have it. It's elegant.

I guess research comes a long way then.

Thanks for the positive notes!
