(the timer for 45 minutes would last longer than that) Idea: doing timeouts but displaying the actual time passed, by parsing the actual time at each timeout.

Time will speed up :-) Test it when you click “pause” , then “start” and “resume” again. Time will speed up :-)

It is quite interesting as I was very annoyed by all the date countdown scripts I found, needing one of these :) @Arjan, you are right, I now added a preferences panel to change settings quickly.

However, the script looks fun, but it would of course be easier to be able to edit the time via the page, instead of editing the source code.
