FAQ
How can I continue the timer after restarting my app?
You can get the elapsed time (in seconds) with timer.value.get() on exit and set offset later on, which will make the timer start counting from offset. For Countdown, tweak beginning instead of offset.
I'm not happy with how my timer looks like. Can I change its appearance?
Yes, timers are ultimately just tkinter labels which means you can do anything you would to an ordinary tkinter.Label.
