JavaJack,

I'm not seeing this on my PC. When I turn animation off, it drops to between 1 and 2% and when I turn seconds off it drops to 0% and spikes to 1 or 2% every 60 seconds. That's on a Pentium Mobile 1.6GHz laptop - nothing special.

I don't know why you'd be seeing such high figures unless you're on a Mac. Is anyone else seeing anything like this?

Nice, and the theming system is killer :^) But eats 7% cpu even with no graphic, seconds disabled, animation disabled :^(

Dan,

You can do exactly that. Set the target date to 6pm today and set the timer reset period to "Daily". Alternatively you can choose "Daily (Weekdays Only)" to do the same but on Friday it sets to 6pm the following Monday. There's even a theme on the theme browser site called "The Working Day" which automatically sets the time up that way except it's for 5pm.

Great widget. Would be nice if you could specify a daily target time. For example, I could specify 6pm for the target time every day (when I can go home from work ;)). Then when it hits 6pm, the target time automatically changes to the same time, but the next day.
