I find Timer's dark mode too contrasty, not pleasant to the eyes. The window frame is too black and the clock is still white. To be more in line with Apple's visual design, I suggest to brighten a little the window frame (not black but dark gray), lighten a bit more the ring around the clock, and use a very light gray for the clock. See the image below, before and after, compared with a Finder window. The difference seems low, but it is better for the eyes.

Todays' dark mode:
mode-sombre

Suggested dark mode:
mode-sombre2

Or another radical suggestion:
mode-sombre3

We could look into this. The radical suggestion isn't something I'm for, personally.

I'm open to suggestions.

Hi!

So far I'm loving Timer - but I also find it a bit distracting - having a large black square on screen.

Related to this issue, have you considered either having colour options for the background or ideally - lowering the opacity when Timer isn't the foreground app?

Please see attached a screenshot of Timer alongside Pomy, on the right. Neither app is foregrounded.

Thanks

Also - how Pomy handles "themes" (colour options):
