function Start-BootsTimer {
#.Syntax
#  Creates a stay-on-top countdown timer
#.Description
#  A WPF borderless count-down timer, with audio/voice alarms and visual countdown + colored progress indication
#.Parameter EndMessage
#  The message to be spoken by a voice when the time is up...
#.Parameter StartMessage
#  A message to be spoken at start up (just to let you know, audibly, what's up).

#.Parameter Minutes
#  Some minutes to add to the timer
#.Parameter Seconds
#  Some seconds to add to the timer
#.Parameter Hours
#  Some hours to add to the timer

#.Parameter SoundFile
#  A .wav file to play as the alarm

#  The size of the timer text
#.Parameter SingleAlarm
#  Only sound the alarm once

#.Example
#  Start-BootsTimer  180 "The three minute egg is ready!"
#
#  Starts a three minute timer with the specified voice alert at the end
#
#.Example
#  Start-BootsTimer  -End "The three minute egg is ready!" -Minute 3
#
#  Starts a three minute timer with the specified voice alert at the end
#
#.Example
#  Start-BootsTimer  "Your turn is over!" -Minutes 10 -Single -FontSize 18
#
#  Starts a 10 minute timer that only plays the alert once at the end, and has a small font, which would fit over the task bar or a window title bar...
