Incorrect, in stock worldclock, one-time alarms were still saved, just inactive. One could activate the same one-time alarm over and over, and it's always active for *next* matching hour (i.e., if it is 10 AM, and Alarm set off on 11 AM, activating it will make it ring after 1 hour. Yet, if it is already noon, 11 AM alarm will ring on 11 AM tommorow).

In replacement worldclock, one-time alarms disappear after deactivation (aren't saved). I'm not sure about moment of disappearance (instantly? on reboot?), but they vanish.

So, nice catch megaexer. I wonder, if fixing it is relatively easy, or not? ade, what do you think?

It is just that the approach is different.

-The stock clock puts a one-time alarm on inactive after it has gone off.
-The replacement clock removes a one-time alarm after is has gone off.

It has nothing to do with saving afterwards or reboots to make it go away. The approach of the replacement clock makes more sense to me. It was a one-time alarm after all. In the stock clock, I have to remove my old one-time alarms by hand afterwards to clean it up. If you want to repeat alarms see the suggestion of peter2p.

One-time alarms and repeat sound somewhat like a contradiction to me

But of course options to not remove old alarms can be created in theory (before the suggestion is done here)

Sorry Estel I never experienced that...
Always prepared my alarms on a weekly basis so they were mend to stay.
I only reacted on megaexer's post because it feels logic that a one-time alarm is deleted after it's use.
Like abe said...

But I also see yours and megaexer's point to restore the original values.
Both ways works fine, it's just how you use them

No problem with the inactive alarms.

It just needs minor tweaks such as centering of main icons instead of stretching them to 164x164 px. Currently the icons look pixelated with Awoken icon pack which uses icons 128x128 px in size.

Read the former posts for the history of that inconsistency.

From your description I guess you have an older version. Please read the first post for your current options and the most recent version.

right..i updated to latest version..didt see any changes about waht i mentioned..the clock os way off center as even you can all see in the first pot screenshots, much more to the right than to the left...as for the seconds only showing in portrait, i did the reading you asked, still dont get it, no product would go to the market like this, its preferable not to have the seconds anywhere, and have a consistent software..imo.
