This simple project contains these parts:

Name	Description
Timer	How to complete a timing function in .Net?
Animation	In the project, two different animation writing methods were used. One is written directly in C# code, and the other is written in XAML.
Data binding	Bind data classes to XAML and perform two-way data synchronization.
Font	How to use non-system embedded fonts in WPF.
Notification window	How to pop up a custom notification window in the lower right corner of the screen. Reference: https://blog.csdn.net/catshitone/article/details/75089069 Here we didn't let the window move, but let the elements in the window move. Window movement is only applicable to the case of using a single display. If the user is a dual display, then the flaw may be seen ：）
Save and load	In WPF, use WPF's own Settings.settings to save and load (archive).
Different shaped windows	How to make a grotesque window? There are 2 windows (main window, notification window) in this software. The main window is a square with rounded corners, and the notification window is an irregular shape.

v0.0.1.1（2019.06.25）：

Add taskbar progress bar（Blinks when finished, turns red when paused）
Put the Staff panel outside the window
Fix: Sometimes the countdown is completed, there is no sound (it is suspected that the sound file is being [garbage collected] by the system)
Now, when the mouse enters the Staff panel, the Staff panel is displayed. (This is to prevent: the Staff panel flashes madly when the Staff panel appears at the edge of the screen)
Now you can't type “-” and “.” in the TextBox.

v1.0.0.0（2019.07.01）：

Optimization: When setting the number of minutes and seconds, you can increase (or decrease) the number of minutes (or seconds) if you keep pressing the button. ——Thanks：Felix
Fix: scrolling the mouse wheel in the TextBox when setting the time will cause the number to scroll ——Thanks：Felix、小木
Optimization: When setting the time, if the number of seconds is 0, then if you reduce the number of seconds again, the number of seconds will change to 59. The number of minutes is the same. ——Thanks：Felix
Optimization: Change the Timer class to wpf's DispatcherTimer class
Optimization: In the time setting interface, press Enter to start timing ——Thanks：小木
Fix: Now any right mouse button click is invalid (only the left mouse button can click the button)

v1.0.1.0（2019.07.30）：

Optimization: When setting the time, you can adjust the time by scrolling the middle mouse button——Thanks：小木
Optimization: you can adjust the volume——Thanks：[TBR] Flaming、乐乐

v1.0.1.1（2019.09.13）：

Fix: When you press and hold the up arrow of "Second", the number of seconds will decrease——Thanks：UEMion
Optimization: Redo the "volume" function (using the SoundPlayer class)——Thanks：amirrammari
