RSIBreak 0.10 PDF Print E-mail
Yes! 0.10 final is out there. There is almost no difference to the last beta. So get it, and if you have issues report them! I'm very happy with this release and I've started using it again too, so expect regular updates again. I will try to get it into a main KDE module so regular updates are easier and it will lower the administration overhead for me. Anyhow, enjoy the release.
 
New beta: 0.10-beta1 PDF Print E-mail
This new version is based on the 0.9 version, which was basically a port to KDE4. This new version tries to be more stable and provide a better user experience. Because it is a beta, it would be nice to receive as much feedback as possible!

I've rewritten most of the full screen effects and updated them to be more KDE4 like. There is a new effect called 'Plasma effect', which let's you see the dashboard during a break.

The gray out effect does no longer fake transparency but uses the real stuff. Also the level of transparency is adjustable.

There is another new effect which only shows a passive popup during breaks, this serves like a permanent, but not intrusive, warning to take a break. Of course it will only disappear when you actually take that break...

Lots more tweaks and adjustments and bugfixes, just try it out...
