Countdown before recording starts — Limelight 1.2.3

A countdown gives you a moment to take a breath, move your cursor to the right position, and mentally prepare before the recording begins. Limelight shows a large on-screen counter — 3, 2, 1 — then starts capturing.

The countdown duration is configurable from 0 (instant start) to 5 seconds. For recordings where you need to start with the cursor already in the right place, even a 1-second delay makes a difference.

The countdown does not appear in the exported recording — it is only shown to you. The final clip starts cleanly at the moment recording begins.
