You click on the warning window, then take a break. The window changes appearance while you take the break. it changes again when your break is over. Then you just resume typing. Xwrits hides itself until you should take another break. The typetime option changes the amount of time between breaks, and the breaktime option changes the length of a break. The defaults are 55 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively.
