Timer Countdown Is Missing

[thedward]

I am running Debian Jessie (9).

I see the hourglass icon, but when I start a timer there is no countdown shown.

I was expecting to see something like:

but instead I see:

Eventually the timer will end and I'll get an alert.

I see the same behavior with the stopwatch, which is even funnier.

It is not obvious to me how I would find the version of the app, but I can tell you I just installed it using:

go get github.com/martinlindhe/timer/cmd/gotime

I was expecting to see something like

We use github.com/getlantern/systray for placing icon and text in the notification area. No code in this app controls the appearance of that.

I am not able to reproduce your issue using the default themes in Fedora or Ubuntu.
This just means I cannot easily address your issue without more input. I am not saying your report is mistaken. I made the Linux port functional at one time, but mainly uses the macOS version of the software myself. There might very well be bugs!

Could it have something to do with the black theme you are using? (Perhaps try switching theme to a light theme?).

It is not obvious to me how I would find the version of the app

The software gets installed as $GOPATH/bin/gotime

Sorry for not addressing this properly before.

(I've updated the install instructions in the README with the info below)

When "go get" is invoked with the "-u" flag, they will download and build the latest code directly from this repository at the time of the invocation of the command.
There's no version number in the software at the moment.

The full command is

go get -u github.com/martinlindhe/timer/cmd/gotime

PS, no code changes has been made since you opened this issue, so it should not be necessary for you.

I hope this answers your question!

@thedward do you know which desktop environment / taskbar you're running?

i have the same problem but using i3bar, which is rather niche and i'm not surprised if it does something funky causing this functionality to break.
