This is a project to display a timer overlayed on top of the rest of your desktop that is controlled with keyboard shortcuts so you can quickly
start a timer any time you need with only a couple key presses
This relies on the [GlobalShortcuts XDG desktop portal](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts.html),
which is currently only implemented on KDE Plasma. I am considering reworking it to not rely on the portal, but we'll see if I get around to that
# Dependencies
This project relies on [glew](https://github.com/nigels-com/glew) [glfw3](https://www.glfw.org/) [freetype2](https://freetype.org/) and [sdbus-cpp](https://github.com/Kistler-Group/sdbus-cpp).
You will need to install these libraries to be able to build/run this project
For example, on Arch Linux:
```
sudo pacman -S glew glfw freetype2 sdbus-cpp
```
You will also need to have make and a c++ compiler to build the project
For example, on Arch Linux: (you probably already have these if you are using Arch as they are dependencies of base-devel)
```
sudo pacman -S make gcc
```
# Building
Once the dependencies have been installed, you can compile the project simply with:
```
make
```
# Installing
Installation is likewise very simple, simply run:
```
sudo make install
```
There is also a desktop file provided that you may want to install to /usr/share/applications/, ~/.local/share/applications/, or ~/.config/autostart,
