Pomodoro is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals called 'Pomodoros' (from the Italian word for 'tomatoes') separated by breaks. Closely related to concepts such as timeboxing and iterative and incremental development used in software design. The method is based on the idea that frequent breaks can improve mental agility.

Tomatoid is a pomodoro timer for KDE and is written in QML + Javascript

Thanks for your feedback.

Once I add the widget to the System Tray, I can nor see the red tomato icon nor do I know how to activate it. What do I do, should the tomato icon miraculously appear? Right-clicking the empty spot now, only shows "Tomatoid Setting".
I installed "libqtmultimediakit1" but still no sign of the tomato in the System Tray, maybe I need to reboot. Will keep updated.

did you install qt-mobility?

FINALLY!!
After installing "qt-mobility" package and uninstalling Tomatoid, I rebooted, re-installed Tomatoid and now it's there in the sys tray. So is the volume icon.

I tried Tomatoid: it's great, just what I was looking for. Good job!

Thanks for taking the time to solve my problem. When you told me to install the package, I thought you were referring to "qtmultimediakit" although initially the "qt-mobility" package didn't come up in my Package Installer (had some problem with repositories, but that's another story). Anyway, thanks a lot.

No, I'll do it right now.

Also, ever since I placed Tomatoid next to the volume icon in the sys tray, the volume icon is also gone. So now I'm left with 2 empty spots in the sys tray. Don't know if the two things are connected, but Amarok is not starting at all.

I'll uninstall Tomatoid, reboot, then try installing it again via Terminal.

Hi,
Can you help me install it properly, please? I'm running Mageia 2 i586 (32 bit)
I installed it as a Plasma widget from Task Manager bar but I can't even see the icon in the system tray. There's only a blank spot where it's supposed to appear. How do I start it? Do I need to reboot the system?

Weird... Rebooting doesn't solve the problem?

execute

BTW I downloaded the package from this page to my ~/Downloads folder. Is it ok or do I have to move it? I mean I tried installing it via Get New Widgets -> Install Widget From Local File... from Widget Explorer and then choosing the package from the Downloads folder but it says it can't install it.

Still can't get the icon in the System Tray nor do I know how to activate it. There's only a blank spot where the icon should be. Do I install those missing packages? (see previous post, please).

The problem is just the icon or you can't use the plasmoid at all?

Install this package. The output said you didn't installed the qt-mobility package.

I installed qt-mobility, but it still doesn't work. When I add it, it just freezes plasma. I ran it in plasma-windowed, here's what I got:

I don't use pulse, so maybe that's the case? If so, any advice to use it with alsa?

I removed pulse, because it caused skype to have these weird white noises.

There's no such package like qt-mobility in ubuntu 12.04 lts repository.

Installing this packages: qtmobility-example, qtmobility-dev, qtmobility-l10n don't save the day and plasma-desktop crashes.

Try to install the libdeclarative-multimedia package, I think it will sove the problem. For some reason qtmobility in ubuntu is separated in a lot of packages.

It would really be nice to configure these notifications in standard KDE style.

Nice plasmoid.

What do you mean? Every time a pomodoro or a break ends, the plasmoid pops-up a KDE notification.

However, there is a bug in KDE 4.10 in the new QML notification plasmoid that does not show tomatoid notifications. This bug is fixed in KDE 4.10.1

You're right. There's a notification. But in most KDE applications you can configure the notification with a lot of options (sound, speech, start program, popup, highlight, log). Not everything is useful for this plasmoid but it would really be nice if some of the options are avaiable and could be configured. And the best would be doing this the standard KDE way :)

Hm, I see. I need to know if this is possible with Plasma QML. If I find a way to do this in QML I'll add this feature in the next release :)
