I'll have a look at this when I get chance. > Yeah, they definitely also apply to the window design. What's the main > reason for not using editing functionality though? Removing the editing functionality would simplify the design - you'd wouldn't have to bother with activating and deactivating alarms, and you could remove the edit button. Removing editing will also allow you to optimise your interface for the most common operations, ie. adding alarms. You currently use the same dialog for both adding and editing of alarms, for example, which isn't ideal. Solely focusing on adding will allow you to get that dialog just right. Finally, if you make adding alarms quick and simple, you remove the need to edit in the first place. > To avoid cluttering > up the applet with unused alarms? You suggest that to disable an alarm > the user just deletes it instead? Yes. You'd basically remove the concept of activating and disabling.
