This behavior is confusing for the user. It does not give any state update if the timer is started or not.

The current implementation of the timer calls directly its observers. For our usecase, the overhead of the calls on the work duration is negligeable. But, if an observer wanted to do a blocking call, it would also block the timer which is not wanted.
A consumer thread should be added to handle the calls to the observers. The timer would then only post updates in a safe way to the consumer thread. Preventing it to be blocked.

Change it to "Time to take a break !" or something.

Make the icon smooth

It happens if a timer has been launched no matter if stopped or currently in use.

When the user uses the window notification. Add the option to select a break duration in the settings so that when it's time for a break, the break will end automatically after the selected duration. To monitor the duration of the break, a progress bar can be placed on the notification window.

On shift pressed, change the color of the exit button to red pastel

Clicking on the tray icon should bring the settings interface to the front. The interface should be minimised if it's already on the front.

There is no tests currently :)

Blocks the screen when the time to do a pause has come
This is optional, if you prefer you can still have the notifications instead

Allow the user to specify how much pause time he wants and how much work time he wants

For example, if the application is launched twiced, a second timer tile will be appended at the bottom of the application.

As a prototype, the UI is tightly coupled to the domain. It hinders maintainability for the long term.

Notifies the user when a new version is available.
The user can choose to update Pause or discard the notification.
The update can still be accessed through the about interface.

1 There are two rendering issues the X in the close button is missing,
2 when the timer message appears, it remains mostly transparent and is hard to read.
the developer told me that the transparency property is not being updated correctly in the code

The issue occurred in Windows 10,
java version "1.8.0_171"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11)
