I know the time I spent on the graphic (beside the taste) tricks a bit:
the code behind this kind of apps is really nothing special but im ready to stretch it a bit to bend in something different

For the real answer: by now the clock does not trig any alarm when the tablet is off. For this beaviour *we* should find a reliable way to use the alarmd (u can look back a couple of pages in this thread where someone pointed out the advantages and disadvantages).
The clock now just compare the alarmset strings with the time read from the tablet each minute:
flipclock running ->alarms works
flipclock non running -> alarms doesn't works
no day/week/month scheduling
no multiple alarms (but I could easily make working all 7 alarms or let the user enable and disable each single alarm or make fixed time alarms like !ring in 5 minutes or !ring in 10 minutes)
and yes, since is the application that take care of the alarm is possible to trigger every kind of events (examples: start an external player, an application, or pretty everything python can manage aka pretty everything the tablet can mange ).
