I recently got a support request for Time Out, my popular break reminder tool, asking to display a fixed image during the break.
Time Out uses HTML pages as break themes, so it is possible to have a fixed image as a theme — in fact the default theme, Icon, does just that, with the app icon.
So one way to have a fixed image is to:
Pretty easy. You can edit those files in TextEdit or any other text editor.
If the image is available on some website, it's actually a little easier. I have created an example theme on the Time Out extras page:
Download the Ducks & Fish theme
You can edit a copy of this theme to use a different image:
(This got me thinking, and I spent the last hour or so writing up notes on ways to make adding image-based themes even easier in a future version. I'm always trying to improve the app.)
While I was at it, I also added three themes to display my three blogs:
If you try those, you might want to set the Opacity to 100% on the Break Appearance page.
Time Out isn't a web browser or feed reader, but since the themes are just web pages, these show some of the interesting things you can do.
