Another update guys... the new version is coming along very well indeed! I may take you up on that offer to documentation help sampieter once we get a little further along!

In the mean time Ciro buddy if you've got a few minutes I need your hand with some nice graphics for the extra screens and stuff... I'll send you a PM about what I'm after so that we don't spoil the "surprises" for everyone here ;-)

Let's see things I've got done now (what was the last update I gave you... it seems like ages ago!):
- The alarm scheduling screen is pretty slick now; I've got to optimize it for performance on the default theme a little bit but you're gonna be pretty happy I think, especially compared to the old version. I've also introduced larger buttons to select the day of the week since that was driving me nuts before on the old version.
- have the capability for different "Alarm modes" in the code now, but the only one I'm going to focus on for this release will be the traditionally "play sound"; others such as launch media player, etc can be added later hopefully.
- Snooze times are now configurable on a per-alarm basis, so you can adjust from 0 (no snooze allowed), to 5, 10, 15 mins

With luck I should have the alarmD/alarm scheduling stuff tied in and ready in the next few days; after that it'll just be a question of otimizing things and implementing the basic settings screen. I've still got a plan for the "simple alarm mode" for people who don't want to deal with a day-by-day alarm screen, but whether I decide to cram that in yet or save it for a feature after the first beta I'm not sure yet...
