elimoon8 - Should I just put the standard set of colours on there, or the last ones that you've picked? I'm thinking standard red, green, blue like the original Flip would be pretty good...thoughts?

That was the problem I was having with 0.9.3; do you have the update installed from my last post (0.9.3-3)? If not try upgrading to that one and see if the problem persists; please let me know either way as it is a bit of a concern.

Also - weirdly - the alarms are an hour early. That is,
if I set alarm for 6 it shows up on the main screen
as 5.
This is a problem related to DST; I noticed the same thing the other day where alarms set before the DST change for a date after DST were wrong... haven't played with it since, but see if you clear the alarms and set them again after Sunday if the problem persists; I was half way through troubleshooting this on Friday afternoon when I got caught up with some other things so I don't remember exactly how far I got with it...

.- Pressing the h/w key for max and min screen caused the flipclock app to freeze after 4-5 clicks. It froze to the point I had to force-quit the process.
Hmmm that one's new, I've used it several times on my test devices here and never seen that happen... can anyone else reproduce this? Is it just if you hit window/max a few times, or do you try and press something on the clock in between, or?

The issues about the lines on the night screen and the missing theme change button I'm aware of, I just forgot to fix them for -3 release sorry! I'll get them one day I swear!

Up and down drags on the clock screen seems to be less responsive. It often took me 2-3 swipes up or down to get to the next screen
hmmm that one's odd as the code hasn't changed for that in a while... I probably need to tweak the button code for that to make it a little more obvious; it only works when your finger is actually over top of the digits themselves, and you have to drag down or up 20 pixels in order to trigger the change....
Can any one give me suggestions as to how to better handle this?? There's not enough space on the interface to make two more buttons "clock settings" and "alarm settings", but at the same time the drag thing really is tricky for people; There will be a little help/tutorial thing to explain it in the final version, but is explaining it a good enough solution or should I try and find another way of making it work? (All of these controls btw are defined by the themes, so later on I could make an alternate theme that had buttons in addition to the dragging...)


Thanks for the positive feedback bigduke!

By the way I guess nobody's tried this on an N800? No comments at all about the FM radio stuff that I added and whether it works properly/looks cool/etc?...

And now back to handing out candy to the kids!
