MacOS Big Sur 11.3.1

Problem description

1. the window during break time is quite large, I understand it's meant to make you actually Take A Break but I would like the option to make it smaller
2. when setting up my theme preferences, I had to use the 'skip to next break' function to preview what the break window / screen would look like.

Possible solution

1. window size

• in preferences, set window size through drag corners and then lock the size again?
• S/M/L window size options?

2. theme preferences

• pop up that stays on screen for a few seconds so you can preview what your break screen will look like?
• or, pop up preview but with a 'close preview' or X button

Alternative solutions

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

The latest version of Stretchly will disappear after the rest window pops up on Mac, and the icon in the dock bar will not disappear

Hi @daggers-camille ,

you can change the size of break windows by percentage:

Regarding preview: what specifically do you miss? The only thing that changes is color and that is visible in Preferences.

Hi @spiritually-soup ,
ITSs track issues individually, as much as possible. The 2 issues you report here should have dedicated tickets. The first already has ticket #1561.

I recommend you file a new ticket for issue #2 if you think that is relevant and discard this ticket. I guess @hovancik has a point that a preview would have limited use in the current implementation, but I guess it would be good to ask renaming the Appearance preference to "Background color" if that (and whether the text color is black or white) is indeed all it controls.
