Hide timer window and background when not active

Similar to what the principles app of @cassidyjames does:

Seems like thats done with pure CSS:

After initial testing in Time Limit, there are two issues identified:

  • This approach increases the size of the widget and adds an ugly, black background
  • The current color palette does not go well with a transparent background

Maybe there is a way to get this done nicely in Odin along with dark mode support (#36).

Since we are able to close the window while the timer is still running, this issue is no longer worth the time needed to fix.
