AaAaAargh - my alarms are not working at all in this version...
I tried 'everything', but no alarms.
sometimes I get the 'Alarm sync'd' pop-up, but often not...
also, the countdown is now showing a negative:


I'm unsure what to do next, probably uninstall & fresh install...

The new 'setup' and 'alarms' buttons are rather smallish: their size invite you to use your stylus instead of your finger. Unfortunate, as you want FlipClock to be a finger friendly program. If you decide on keeping these buttons, please let them stand out in their own space at the top, instead of hovering above both the seconds space as well as the flipclock space. You might want to make a 'top menu' area wherein you can place these new buttons as well as the seconds bar distinctly seperated from the flipclock.
You'll also need 'back to the clock' buttons on the settings and alarms pages.

All in all, my personal recommendations would be:
-no seconds bar at all (but you already pointed out that you can remove it from the (future) themes menu)
- instead of an 'exit' button (at the lower right of the screen), use an 'alarms' button. And from the alarms screen one can get to the settings screen. But you already pointed out that you want an exit button, so new users won't feel 'locked in'. I (still) say that using the hardware on/off buttons is intuitive and feels 'natural' if you want to close the program.
- leave the finger gestures: they are so cool!

Anything else? Heh, yes:

- Please take a look at the image placed in this message. Look closer at the 'Alarm set' area. See how the day indicator ("wo" as in "woensdag", which means Wednesday in Dutch) is clipped?

- Also, look a bit closer at the date area (month/year + day) and notice how the red ambient light is boxed.

- the two buttons at the bottom-right ('Next Theme' and 'Exit') are not shaped equally: different rounded corners; different lightning.

- the 'Alarm set' area and the 'date area' are different in height (the 'date area' is one pixel higher at the bottom of the screen)

Ok all nitpicking and pixelstaring aside, I now have a flipclock with no alarms at all. I'm going to re-install and keep you posted!

PS Jolouis, please keep on developing Flipclock for us N8X0 users before you give them crazyy N900 owners your attention ..!
