Tournament 15 second first move rule needs a countdown clock

I was in another tab when my tournament game started, and by the time I got to the right tab, I didn't know how much I had left of the 15 seconds before my first move, since there is no visual indication of this. I took a couple seconds to look at my opponent's rating, decided to go berzerk, clicked the berzerk button, and then "lost" before I could make a move.

Please add a countdown on the 15 seconds message (if it is your move), maybe having it turn yellow and then red as it gets close to 0.
