------------------------------------------------------------------------

This software is a simple timer that allows you to manage easily your 
working time. It times your work and breaks, making a beep sound at the 
end of each so that you know you can take a break / return to your work.
There is also a change of color between break time and work time.

The times, sound and colors are customizable.

--------------------------Prerequisites----------------------------------

This software is based on Python3 and Tkinter interface so you will need 
to have them installed to use it.

1. Windows users

Install Python 3: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Install Pillow: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/2.2.1#downloads

In both case, be careful to choose the python3 versions 
(it won't work with python 2)

2. Linux users

Install with your package manager the following packages (names might 
slightly change according to the distribution):

Ubuntu/Debian:
- python3-tk 
- python3-pil
- python3-pil.imagetk 

Archlinux:
- tk
- python-pillow

-------------------------Getting started--------------------------------

Unpack the archive. To display correctly the fonts, you need to install
the two fonts included in the /fonts folder. In many Linux distributions,
you just need to move the font files to the /.fonts folder in your home 
directory to do so.

Now, you can launch WorkHourGlass.py, select open with python if necessary 
or launch it from the command line with 
$ python3 WorkHourGlass.py
