feature request: display modal dialog

[joh]

Now we have options:

• play sound
• start application

It would be nice if we also had option Display dialog, which would display dialog, in some color, with some text, like in application alarm-clock.

This options should also have optional snooze and stop (both of this alarm only).

I'd love this option. A modal dialogue box is particularly helpful for initiating breaks (for workaholics) in a shared office environment where

• regular alarms/sounds aren't appreciated, and
• other forms of notification don't demand a response.

From my POV, the dialogue would ideally have adjustable (and remembered) snooze time. Also, the default snooze time would be set under "Preferences". Thanks!
