Okay guys as promised, here's Preview Release II!
There's been a lot of work going into this, the biggest part being I managed to get the packaging sorted out so this should show up in Extras-devel anytime now (I'm not sure what's going on with autobuilder and why things are so slow, but anyways...). In the meantime, grab the deb from the garage page:
All fixed, give it a go!

Notes:
Before I get into changes and cool stuff, I just need to emphasize here... THIS IS STILL A PREVIEW RELEASE, so there are some things missing and problems still! ;-) Most notably these are the issues that I'm aware of but just didn't have time to fix:
Night mode theme is still a disaster (buttons are missing, entire screens are missing, etc)
The fonts/colors for the buttons on the Clock Settings screen aren't right/consistent
The new "About" button on the clock settings screen does nothing/doesn't work
The new "choose theme" button on the clock settings screen does nothing/doesn't work
These are the issues that I'm aware of, so please don't post up and report them as problems as they're already in the works; anything else though is fair game! (and as always I WANT FEEDBACK everyone! ;-) )
Now then, here's the goodies since the last version (well all the ones I can remember):
There's a CLOCK SETTINGS SCREEN! Finally... it only works in the default "Flip" theme, and some of the buttons on there don't do anything... but it's there. To access this screen, drag your finger from top to bottom on the main clock display (opposite of what you do to get to the ALARM SETTINGS screen). To get back just do the opposite.
Related to that, the Clock settings screen exposes the following options:
12/24 HR mode switch - This fixes alarms and things automatically for you by the way, so change around as often as you like
Alarm Style Switch - This lets you change between the default "weekly" alarm setting, and the "simple/daily" alarm mode. In daily alarm mode you only set one alarm; when you turn the alarm on, it will occur the next time your set time happens. When you acknowledge the alarm (snooze or turn off) the alarm IS DISABLED AGAIN and must be MANUALLY RE-ACTIVATED. This is the behavior that lemmy was looking for I believe, so there ya go buddy!
Mood Picker - Okay it was kind of hidden before, but it's there officially now. Press anywhere in the big coloured box to choose your mood colour, and hit either OK or just click outside of the "window" to get back to the clock settings screen.
Hardware keys are safe now, they no longer exit the app!
If you have an N800, you can now use a second alarm "alert mode"; click on the button that says "sound", it will change to say "M.Player" (which is WRONG, gotta fix that). This will change some stuff and give you the option to setup FM RADIO! Click the big "TUNE FM" button to open my awesome homemade FM radio tuner thing and select your frequency. Just remember in order for FM Radio to work you need to have Headphones or external speakers hooked up... and I really have no idea if the sound will play over those or the built in speakers, I never actually tried that... but you've been warned!
Some more minor changes and things, but those are the biggies!
Alright so there you go everyone, we're getting closer here! But those should at least be enough changes/fixes to make this useable...
Let me know!!!
Thanks!
