Yes
But, to use this functionality the platform must support it.
To add this support to Linux, enable Composite in Xorg.conf and run either a composite window manager or simply: xcompmngr -n"

I have to use SOME sort of composite manager anyway Znurre, my bet is compiz would show a bigger fps drop in glxgears than xcompmngr.

Also I bet that with gnome+xcompmngr you would get higher fps in glxgears than with KDE4, so I think it's the best solution overall if you want compositing

I would also like to see this app in native binary btw, if this is possible. A C++ port maybe or smth like that, java eats up 50MB of ram just to run this little app

Well... you know how to manage it through c++ programing? :P
Maybe use jni is an option, but i don't know which functions an libraries use to manage the window.

Heh I could port it in C++, the problem is the libraries are not the same, you would have to rewrite a lot of stuff

About the timer titles: I think it would be nice to keep it the way it is supposed to work, with 3 different timers with different colors & titles, depending on where you right-click you get timer for the realm, like with gem display.

Port not, only use java with c++, using jni (i know that possible but had never used it )

That wouldn't be so useful, since java will eat up 50 Mb anyway. You could port it to python :P

But it's really strange... have you seen the labels of rolgps that indicates the heap memory? With 3 plugins activated (+ main program)it don't take more than 15 MB.

50 Mb this app... is really strange. (or java lies :O)

Java allocates 50 Mb for itself, and then requests more if needed... So that's why making RolGPS small was a good idea, so it would not take extra memory :P

In the options menu you can now:

set Always on top.
set Window undecorated
set Opacity (if it's possible, if the system don't support it then the slider will be disabled).

Normal counter (0 to infinite) added.
15 min. counter added.

Tell if this things work ok please.

The automatically start of the counters maybe in next version .

PS: Try without external tricks.

Tested it on gnome+xcompmngr, without external tricks (ie, devilspie rules were disabled for this application).

Results:

Undecoration works.
Always on top works.
Opacity does NOT work (slider is disabled).

Bugs:
Normal timer window has no title (I really need it to have a title, for devilspie).
15min timer window has no title, always has white colored letters.
30min + 120min timers are still always ignis & red letters

Requests (not for me, I can "fix" most of what I don't like with devilspie, but windows users cannot): Make options for undecorate/always on top/opacity for the timer windows as well.

I can test it on windows as well if you want me to.

PS: Another request: If it is possible, add a feature to use smaller fonts on timers (and maybe status window too), to make the window smaller, or just make it maybe resizeable? I will have to use devilspie for now to do it
