SUMMARY
***
Currently when a timer is running, the user is shown the time that has elapsed since the timer was started, and the amount of time that the timer was set for.  Typically timers show T- for the time remaining.  KClock does this differently, perhaps incorrectly... a setting would be nice and, personally, I would find the remaining time more useful than the total time or the time that has elapsed.  The current design makes me do math to get the information that I want / need.

Replace the elapsed time with remaining time

Currently when a timer is running, the user is shown the time that
has elapsed since the timer was started, and the amount of time that
the timer was set for. However, typically timers show the time
remaining. Therefore, we'd better replace the elapsed time with
remaining time.
