Hi,

First of all my apologies for not responding for such a long time. For personal reasons I've not had time even to check my e-mail.

Yes, you are right a dialog pops up below active windows, not minimized
as I reported. My bad.

But as you agreed it's still annoying and prone to missing an alarm.
Though my version is still 0.9.15.

BTW. If you'll get a minute to answer a question, please...

Is there any way and any plans to switch from selection of a week day of
a month/year to just a particular calendar date while creating alarms?
IMHO it would make using Alarm Clock way more convenient. Especially
when it comes to a yearly alarm set.

You see, the way it is done now, it assumes that one would like an alarm
being repeated each year on, let say, each Tuesday. That is not always
the case. Speaking of me, I may want it to run on a specific date. And
I do not want to look through a calendar is it going to be a Tuesday or
any other week day.

I like your app. And such utility is badly missing in GNOME.

I use Evolution but its alarms are very much not reliable. I tried
Kalarm (or whatever it's called). But, first, I hate KDE and I hate
using KDE apps in GNOME. And, second, it just proved being in GNOME as
much unreliable as Evolution alarm is.

Greetings,
Vito
