Apply Timer Styles to All Slides

Want to apply a PowerPoint timer on all slides? With UbiTimer, you can instantly update your countdown timer across every slide in your presentation. Whether you’re switching between Compact, Standard, or Large presets, or adjusting appearance settings in the task pane, you can apply timer styles to all slides in seconds — ensuring consistent formatting, professional visibility, and seamless presentation delivery.

UbiTimer allows you to quickly apply timer styling — including size and appearance settings — across every slide in your presentation for a consistent, professional look.

Available Size Presets

UbiTimer provides three built-in size presets:

  • Compact — Minimal footprint, ideal for content-heavy slides.
  • Standard — Balanced visibility for most presentations.
  • Large — High visibility for exams, events, or large rooms.

How to Apply Styles to All Slides

  1. Open the UbiTimer task pane.
  2. Go to the Appearance tab.
  3. Select your preferred size preset (Compact, Standard, or Large).
  4. Adjust any additional styling options (background, colour, transparency, etc.).
  5. Click the “Apply Styles to All Slides” button.

UbiTimer will update all existing timer shapes in your presentation to match your selected settings.

When Should You Use This?

  • After changing size preset mid-design.
  • When importing slides from another presentation.
  • Before presenting to ensure visual consistency.
  • After modifying appearance settings in the task pane.

Important Notes

  • This updates existing timer shapes only.
  • It does not change other PowerPoint slide elements.
  • If a slide does not contain a timer, it will not be modified.
