What exactly are you trying to make? The thing you asked for a couple days ago? This:

show time and date as "00:00 dd/mm" on one row of text without cutting characters off the end?
I'm relatively free from having to do anything today - let me know if that's still what you want, or if you want something else, and I'll see if I can make one for your in the next few hours.

thanks for the info guys, managed to change the alarm on arc to green. will fiddle around a bit and see if can get it to display an image instead.
If you want to get to it before me, the default alarm-on images are:
/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/general_alarm_on.png
/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/18x18/hildon/general_alarm_on.png
/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/14x14/hildon/general_alarm_on.png
/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/general_alarm_on.png
/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/calendar_alarm.png

I ASSUME it uses the one in scalable, BUT scalable icons are resized by hildon... I'm not sure by what mechanism.... I'm guessing the one in 14x14 or 18x18 are the ones we want. I'm about to see if I can rewrite the proper aspect of the clock code to show that instead of the circle/shape. If it actually works nicely, I'll post the code up here and Wonko can possibly add it as a patch, allowing people to set whether they want the dot or the icon, ideally.

But in the meantime, if you want to and can do it, porselinheart, by all means, go for it.
