  • Format: Choose how you want the time to be displayed (days, hours, minutes, seconds).
  • Finished Text: Customize the text that shows up when the countdown hits zero.

Step 5: Style the Countdown

In the same settings panel, you can also adjust how your countdown looks:

  • Color: Pick a text color for the countdown.
  • Background: Set a background color if you want.
  • Font Size and Style: Customize the font size and style to match your app's design.

Step 6: Add Actions (Optional)

If you want something to happen when the countdown finishes, like navigating to another screen or showing an alert, click on the "Actions" tab and set up what you need.

Step 7: Preview and Test

Click on the preview button (the play icon) at the top-right to test your countdown component and make sure it works as expected.
