The QAnimatedTimer provides a "hourglass"-like animation that displays time elapsed and can automatically change its color at predefined time to indicate processes that take longer than expected. Number of dots is adjustable. Additionally, it can either switch on/off or fade in/out for smoother transitions.
The QVUMeter provides a vertical VU Meter (or volume meter) similar to indicators that can be found on professional or semi-professional audio hardware. The size of the dots, the range and yellow-red thresholds are adjustable. It can be dimmed to indicate inactivity. User can mark a point to indicate, for example, a threshold level.

using in a project

these controls can be independently added to your project. Just #include the header and make sure the relevant .cpp file is compiled as part of your project. There are no external dependencies, other than Qt itself. The widgets have been tested with Qt 4.x and Qt 5.x. Linux, Windows and Mac platforms are supported.
