Please allow overtime to be disabled

As a freelancer, overtime is not a useful concept to me, and I have no desire to time my work sessions or pause. I'd just like to be able to time while I'm working, and not time otherwise.

Hence, could you please make it possible to disable overtime in settings? I tried setting the "Overtime after" to 0, but that just makes overtime kick in immediately; I also tried setting it to maximum, but that's only 2 hours, and I often work for longer than that.

Similarly, I don't want to see a "break time". I would rather see how many hours I've worked in total today when the timer is not running (or just see nothing). The GNOME extension was simpler and just displayed an icon showing whether the timer was currently active or not. I appreciate that the pause & overtime features are useful for some people, but it would be nice if they were not mandatory.

Thanks very much for this widget; I am a recent migrant from GNOME to Plasma (back to KDE after a 25 year gap!), and having used Hamster for many years, I very much appreciate being able to use it still conveniently in Plasma.
