? Anyone know how to setup this thread to automatically THANK jolouis (& ciroip too) for dedication to our timekeeping addiction
Well for the moment just hit the thanks button on posts, as each "Thanks" helps build Karma which apparently helps make us more eligible for device discounts, Nokia developer programs, etc. Once the app is "finalized" and we get a documentation page setup I'm going to setup a "donate to the cause" paypal button or something for anyone who's so inclined; no pressure of course but any donations would go towards purchasing more devel devices or incentive to develop further apps.

Where can I find the other themes? I have the normal flip and the night mode themes... but the nixie theme was starting to grow on me...
lol patience please! This isn't even a full release yet, just a "preview" ;-) So these themes aren't even finalized yet, let alone any other themes being ready! They'll show up in extras along with the app once we get that far though so don't worry the Nixies will be back... I've got a plan for another theme too, and I'm sure if Ciro gets some time he'll make up a few masterpieces as well ;-)

- I still got that f***ing old phantom alarm on Wednesday :-( I tried your clean now and hope it's finaly eliminated!
The new "cleaning" method that I described earlier will definitely clean up any Flip alarms now and forever, so you shouldn't have any more issues with it (let me know if it does come up again!). Sorry it took so long and a new version to fix that one for you!

On Tuesday I snoozed the alarm, when it went off, but decided two minutes later to switch the alarm off and stand up. BUT it still went off 15 minutes later! So switching the alarm off, does not infect snoozes.
Hmm that's a good point, never thought about that.... Generally if you hit snooze the easiest way to "give up on it" is just to exit Flip (that will abort the snooze). I was going to put a little indicator in somewhere to let you know that a snooze was going on... maybe that'd be a good way to put a "cancel" button too... but yea currently turning the alarm off doesn't affect snoozing.

I miss the 24h mode!!
As soon as I get the clock settings screen done it'll be there don't worry! It hasn't been forgotten...

Albright - The little rectangle "loading thing" is created automatically by the tablet OS and cannot be disabled. Really I'll admit the splash screen was just there to see how quickly I could get a graphic up on the screen since the load time seemed to be a bit longer than I was originally expecting so I wanted to visually know "when the app actually started and could display something" vs "when the clock was up and running". I can put an option in the config to disable the splash screen, it just means you'll be sitting there with a blank screen instead for a bit waiting for the app to load up (the splash screen doesn't slow down the loading process, it just makes something appear on the screen while the app is starting up).

Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone!
