I hate to be a nit-picker here, but... daperl: from my understanding of python (and I could be wrong, I'm still learning), items in parentheses () are a tuple, while items in brackets [] are a list. So, in this case, the items need to be in a tuple, not a list. Not a big deal here, but the terminology changes what you can do with the items. (Reference Link)
The other data structure commonly used for string formatting is the Python 'dictionary', especially when there are many variables and/or some of them are used multiple times. The placeholders are then named after the dict keys and their type, as in :
Code:
values = {'name':'Joe', 'score':10, 'rank':'first'}
print "%(name)s scored %(score)d and ranked %(rank)s, congrats %(name)s !" % values

ciao ciroip =) (and first post, btw).
Nice little clock and very useful. Looking in your code, I've noticed quite a bit of redundant code, so, I did a little bit of cleaning (too much loop unrolling
): http://python.pastebin.com/f6bdc2e1d .
EDIT: now with a more flexible event handling, you could even save a little bit of battery life increasing the delay for the redraw of the clock : http://python.pastebin.com/m363e32c .

A commonly used dict is the one returned by locals(), which contains all local variables in context.Code:values = {'name':'Joe', 'score':10, 'rank':'first'} print "%(name)s scored %(score)d and ranked %(rank)s, congrats %(name)s !" % values

Don't be ashamed, ciroip!
You asked developers to write the code for you, but nobody did, so you wrote it yourself! Excellent!
Now your achievement has motivated developers to fix your code. Everybody wins!
Especially me!

ciroip,
do not be ashamed, when a diamond comes out of the ground it is uneven and dull.
its easier to spot a mistake than come up with the rough draft
thanks for starting this

Initially I thought that Alat was built in when I say the Alarm Off /On graphic.
But I guess that is only a graphic and is not a workable "switch as yet", Am I right ?
Also while I would love to have the alarm feature (I loved the clock so much - that I woke up quite a few times on the first night to look at the time in big clear letters - thus losing good sleep :-) , the nice clear interface made me think this would work very well as a stop-watch too - if that feature is built in (maybe).
Maybe clicking the full-screen button could start/stop the stopwatch - just a thought.
But I love this clock at last and having an alarm would make it replace the large statusbar alarm system for me (which bugs me in that it kills the sound on my tablet each time).

I've lowered it to 2.5.1, should be fine for both diablo and chinook. Pygame version is the same so no changes there.
Tiny request for the next version : escape key exits app ? :-)
it ould also be displaying internet time, @0000 was the format...
