Always visible combined timer and menu as header, or combined Timer and (partial?) history view

[jibsaramnim]

It'd be nice to have a way to combine the currently very separate "Timer" and "History" views, similar to how it used to be before the rewrite. I often use the functionality to continue previously logged tasks, the current implementation makes it less comfortable.

The timer view is also mostly unused space as it currently stands, perhaps it can be turned into an always visible header section? Thinking out loud a bit more, if the current sidebar menu is converted to a horizontal menu (ie. tabs), it would be possible to make efficient use of this header section for both a permanently visible timer+task entry section and these tabs, leaving the rest of the view for whatever tab/view you are currently looking at. That way you'd also not have to worry about having two separate timer views (one on the actual Timer view, the other on other views in the sidebar if you currently have a timer running).

I suppose what I'm suggesting is not too dissimilar from how it used to be before the rewrite, but of course in a way that is compatible with the Iced library you're now using.

Thank you for all that you're doing, and for your consideration!

That's a good suggestion, thanks! I originally set it up to be a bit more minimal and clean, but I think you're right, having the timer and history separate isn't necessary, and I like your idea of a horizontal bar at the top.

I've got a couple of big features I'm working on now, but after those come out (1-2 months hopefully) I will draw something out and make this my next task.

I just completed this with 12aa0d6. Thanks for your patience. I didn't make the timer a permanent header like you suggested, but I do think that's a good idea and I'm going to think about doing that in the future. For now, the timer and history are just both on one page, like it was before the rewrite. I will try to push a new release in the next day or two.
