Features

Multiple Countdown Timers

Create and manage any number of countdowns from the Admin Control Panel. Each countdown is configured individually and displayed together in a single widget.

Widget-Based Display

Clean, Modern Design

• Professional card-based layout
• Subtle lighting and gradients
• Optional compact mode
• Fully style-aware (respects your XenForo theme)

Designed to look exciting without being intrusive.

Live Progress Bar (Optional)

Each countdown can display an animated progress bar showing elapsed time:

• Percentage displayed inside the bar
• Tooltip showing elapsed time vs total duration
• "Hot" animated glow when nearing completion
• Toggle per countdown in the ACP
