A minimal countdown timer for the GNOME Shell top panel. Set a duration, watch it count down in the panel, and receive a visual and audio alert when it reaches zero. KEY FEATURES: * Countdown timer displayed directly in the top bar * Flexible time input: Plain numbers (e.g. 5 → 0:05, 112 → 1:12, 53000 → 5:30:00) Unit-based input using h, m, s in any order (e.g. 1h 30m, 45s, 5h 30m) * Visual notification at timer completion * Customizable alert sound * Preferences window for configuration * Hotkey support to start the timer * “Stop” action stops both the timer and any playing alert sound CHANGELOG: v21 - Hotfix for an issue where GStreamer initialized too early, which could cause freezes during login. v20 - Added GNOME 49 support and improved the Stop button to also stop alert audio. v19 - Added a customizable hotkey, new preferences window, alert sound selection, and general UI improvements.

That would prevent the timer from working on the lock-screen. Do i need back the timer up on the disk, or is there some other way? I am a bit confused, as i haven't found examples for best practice in this case. Thanks for your time!
You are using `unlock-dialog` in session modes. So, disable won't be called in unlock dialog.
btw, if you want to learn about session modes read this page: https://gjs.guide/extensions/topics/session-modes.html
It still called disable for me when testing in the past. I did some further testing now, and it turns out that this behaviour only occurs for the first time when the screen is locked & unlocked. It works correctly at the second time.

Thanks again, i'll upload a new version now.
Did you test it on 42?
Yes, 42.3 on Fedora. Did some testing with a Ubuntu Virtual Machine, and it works correctly there. The difference is that i use Xorg here, but the Ubuntu Machine where everything works correctly uses Wayland.
