Shutdown Timer v2.5 Final has been released!

A lot of code changes have been made and I hope everyone likes this version!

Here's a list of changes from 2.5 Beta 3:

- Fixed issue with program not remembering options correctly.
- Decreased Application Startup Time
- Fixed some areas of the program where it was causing memory leaks
- Added Help Documentation
- Fixed issue with Core Temp not being read when required checkbox is enabled
- Fixed issue with CPU Temperature module only reading first Core Temperature, now it finds the highest temperature
- Fixed issue with Date Module not working unless it's a UK Region Setting
- Added Hotkeys for Preferences and Help
- Changed Logo in About Window
- Added Opacity Preference setting
- Altered some interface controls to better suit the program
- Added Compact "Gadget" Style version when activating Shutdown Timer
- Added Monitor - Standby Shutdown Option which will put your monitor into standby mode when the time has reached.

Thanks,

I have got it on Softpedia as well but it's not an up to date version, I contacted them but I just have to wait.


I'll try and get it on Majorgeeks and Fileforum, thanks for the heads up.

Same issue on both the portable and installed version (so the name of the exe isn't the issue)
 
What do you guys think of what v2.7/3.0 looks like?
If your wondering why the Networking Options is highlighted and the Time & Date Options is being shown it's because I'm just giving a little demo on what happens if you move the mouse over the icons.



Feedback and your views on it will be great.
 
OK guys,

I have almost completed the Shutdown Timer Program, 90% of the functionality is there and there are a few niggles that need to be fixed but it's in working condition. I'm just posting this up for feedback from you guys so I can make further changes etc.



Changes:
  • Completely Recoded from the ground up
  • Introduced multi threading (Now starts up and works 10x faster than v2.5)
  • Addition of effects
  • Ability to open a file or process when the timer finishes
  • Ability to check if a process is running or not running (the idle part does not work yet)

Problems:

  • An error with Windows XP, the issue will be resolved in the Beta

Please provide feedback, this build is just so I know what to do for the next changes.

Thanks everyone for your input!
 
Sounds like you're learning an awful lot by developing this application. Well done. :)

I can see new features being added to this after all this work. For example, instead of just being a shutdown utility, it can be used to launch an application, send an email, or possibly even send a text message to a user. ;)

Thanks I have actually learned a lot.

I will be implementing an email system but for sending a txt... A bit harder to do and sending free txts.
 
Have a problem with the install... it says

Installing prerequisite software... then errors

The windows installer service is unavailable. Another application may be running setup. Finish any installations in progress, or restart your computer then rerun setup.

Im guessing its refering to your installer already running?
 
Good work there mate,

Is there a reason you have written this APP? Personal Challenge? UNI? etc.

Wake on Lan an option?
