Far as I know with the functionality of Mother's timer windows is that the UI itself is setting the countdown and starting it.
There's no way to directly communicate with the UI outside of the UI. The only exception to this is displaying webpages in the in-game browser.
So if you wanted to code up some web browser countdown bar... lol. I can't see that being very useful due to lag of the log file being read, and then displayed on screen...
I don't think the log file is a very good way to go. Even 1 second of delay makes it pointless, IMHO.
