I created a mockup of an improved Alarm List window[1] which I feel is more streamlined than the current one.
The buttons in the toolbar are, from left to right: New alarm, Edit alarm, Delete alarm, Start alarm (enable it), Stop alarm, Snooze. The snooze icon should probably be improved somewhat though. The idea is that when you click Stop on a triggered alarm (read: currently playing a sound), it should stop playing the sound. If the alarm is set to repeat, it will start counting down to the next scheduled alarm. If the selected alarm is not triggered, clicking Stop will disable the alarm altogether. Any feedback appreciated :-) Thank you, - Johannes [1] http://live.gnome.org/AlarmClock/Blueprints/BetterUI?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=list-alarms2.png On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 1:44 AM, Johannes H.
