KountDown

This is my first real project, written in C++ using KDE and Qt. It was originally created as a program to show me the time left of my military service. At some point I decided to make it in to a screensaver instead. And that is what it is now, a screensaver which displays a countdown to selected date. Features include:
  • Specify date to countdown to.
  • Choose how to display the countdown, choosing among years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and/or seconds.
  • Text, font and color is configurable. The font and color can even be random.
  • Different text effects; None (text centred on screen), Loop (loop the text on the screen) and PopUp (display text at random position). The speed is configurable.
  • An optional "half-way" setting to set a time when the behaviour of the screensaver will change.
KountDown is licensed under the GNU GPL v2. And, although I hope there are none, all bugs can be reported to me. The same goes for suggestions and comments.
