but can you make the timer text the same as timer settings? i.e white on black. DOS properties doesn't change the timing color. I also think Lucida Consol 12 pt font looks cleaner - can you make that the default?
Xiptron, okay, the white on black versions are attached. About the font, you change that in XP by right-clicking on the title bar of the window, then click Properties, then click Font to change the font and font size for the application.
--------------------------
Would it be possible for your program to access Windows and KEYBOARD and effectly press the assigned key and then return to dos and start countdown. This could be a very short event, not long enough to seriously delay timing start? What do you think?
I don't see a simply way to do that. I think I will have to leave it as it is.
