If there's no active window, you get the countdowns in the Wait window (upper right, yes). You may try to Activate Screen in Wton, but then you'd have to take care of reactivating the last active window. As for the status bar, I prefer to keep it Off for as long as the app runs, but you may want to restore it (though it looks kind of ugly while it vanishes and/or comes back, because the refreshing time...)
