That can be solved by changing the /etc/init.d/alarmd file so it starts alarmd as a background process with stderr redirected to a log file.

Given that i have been booting using ASUI with Alarmd disabled and still have to give MCE a restart after reboot do get the screen to blank automatically, i am unsure if this will help.

I'm sorry but I just can't see to find what you're asking for on this using Google.

Again, if a reboot is needed to change the overall font appearance on the Desktop, within the web browsers, etc., I really don't think it would be worth the extra trouble.

Thanks anyway for the response Auouymous.

Is it possible to make a set-up alarm time manager in asui?
I bet there already is the question like this but I doubt I can find it.

lma already found the answer to get font families and if the two lines you posted reload the fonts then it should work without a reboot.

Make a what? If you mean something to add and manage alarms then there are better solutions like large statusbar clock. And if you want something finger friendly then maybe we could use the simp toolkit to write a stand-alone app. Not really something that should be in ASUI since an app can do it, unless this is not what you meant.

Those two lines will reload any new fonts and make them immediately available for apps such as Xterm or Roxterm.

I've never tried changing the desktop font on the fly though so I'm still not sure if this is possible without a reboot.

Well if ASUI provide an interface for alarm (stop alarm ringing or so) why it doesn't provide an oportunity to quck add alarm?

or perhaps even remove them

Seriously, i think there is at least one calendar attempt floating around the repo that can, under certain conditions, spam the alarm/scheduling system with entries.

Apps schedule various types of alarms with alarmd but it has no UI so SystemUI was given the job to display alarms that needed the user's attention. This is why ASUI displays them, because it has to. It would be possible to add alarm setting/removal support to ASUI if not for the fact that ASUI has no way to open an on-screen keyboard to enter alarm messages. It would be better if someone wrote a GTK app to manage them and then anyone who wanted could add a command button to ASUI to quickly launch that app.

Hey.

My script thingy for having one minute notifications stopped working altogether.

Code:
blank=`gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout`
/etc/init.d/mce stop
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/modest/update_interval 1
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/modest/auto_update True
sudo /etc/init.d/mce start
/usr/bin/set-backlight `gconftool-2 --get /apps/adv-backlight/brightness`
restore_value()
{
  gconftool-2 --type $1 --set $2 `gconftool-2 --get $2`
}
gconftool-2 -t int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout 120
gconftool-2 -t int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout $blank
restore_value int /system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout
restore_value bool /system/osso/dsm/locks/touchscreen_keypad_autolock_enabled
restore_value bool /system/osso/dsm/display/display_on_with_charger
Nothing I can do will get it to start up again.

The only thing I can think of that I've done lately was turning off Alarmd in ASUI.

Is Alarmd needed for notifications?
