You can use the following pages to set options for Alarm++. If you uninstall Alarm++, your settings are removed as well.
When this option is selected, Alarm++ automatically opens the most recent alarm file when it starts.
When this option is selected, you are asked to confirm the action when you delete one or more alarms.
When this option is selected, you are asked to confirm delete and close commands if an alarm is snoozing. In other words, if you delete an alarm and it's snoozing, you are notified that the alarm is snoozing and asked to confirm the delete. Similarly, if you open a new alarm file or exit Alarm++ and an alarm is snoozing, you are asked to confirm the operation.
When this option is selected, a beep will be played when a notification message box is displayed. When it's not selected, Alarm++ will not make any audible notification of message boxes.
Note: This does not refer to any sounds you select for events.
When this option is selected, the main window is displayed (rather than hidden) whenever Alarm++ starts. This option can be overridden by passing the "-show" switch as an argument to Alarm++.
When this option is selected, the toolbar buttons are displayed next to each corresponding menu command. Use this option to specify whether or not you want the appropriate toolbar button shown next to its corresponding menu command. (This feature is similar to Microsoft® Office 97.)
When this option is selected, the short date format (from the Control Panel's Regional settings) is used to display dates in the main window. When this option is not selected, the long date format is used.
When this option is selected, the entire width of a row is selected in the main list of alarms, instead of just the name of the alarm. This means that it is a little more difficult to drag the mouse to select a set of alarms. You need to start your mouse selection in the area past the last column and then drag it to select the alarms you want. As always, you can also use the standard keyboard shortcuts.
Use this to set the font for the list of alarms in the main window.
Use this to specify whether the event window appears on top of other windows or not.
| Always on top | The event window is always on top of every window, including a screen-saver (if one's running at the time of the event). |
| Always on top (unless screen-saver is running)1 | The event window is placed on top of other windows. (If the screen-saver is running at the time of the event, the event window will not always be on top of other windows). |
| On top (but not always) | The event window is placed on top of other windows, but when other windows are activated, they will be placed on top of the event window. |
1Please note that the "Always on top (unless screen-saver is running)" option is not available on Windows 95.
| If you check this box, event windows will have an icon on the taskbar. They will also have a full-size caption bar, with an icon and Minimize and Close buttons. | If the box is unchecked, event windows will not have an icon on the taskbar. They will have a slightly shorter caption bar, without an icon and no Minimize or Close button. |

This determines what action Alarm++ takes when Windows is shutting down and an event window is displayed. The default behavior is for Alarm++ to prompt the user, notify them an event is currently displayed, and ask if they want to snooze it, dismiss it, or cancel the shutdown process.
If Snooze is specified, Alarm++ will automatically snooze any displayed event when it's closing an alarm file. It will be as if you clicked the Snooze button on every displayed event window.
If Off is specified, Alarm++ will automatically dismiss any displayed event when it's closing an alarm file. It will be as if you clicked the Off button on every displayed event window.
When an event window is displayed, Alarm++ will disable the Snooze and Off buttons for this many milliseconds. After the time has elapsed, it will enable the Snooze and Off buttons. (A value of zero will not disable the buttons.)
You might use this to ensure that you are forced to notice the event window before you dismiss it.
You can use this page to select if you want e-mail support or not, and if so, whether you want to use a specific mail profile or specify one each time.
Alarm++ will not connect to a mail service.
Alarm++ will prompt you to select a mail profile every time it starts (if you have Microsoft Outlook, or a similar e-mail client, installed).
Alarm++ will use the specified mail profile every time it starts. These profiles are available if you have Microsoft Outlook, or a similar e-mail client, installed.
Note 1: If a mail profile is already active, Alarm++ uses that mail profile - even if you specify that it should prompt for one and even if you specify that it should use a different one. This behavior is consistent with the Microsoft® Windows™ Messaging application.
Note 2: You must have installed a mail service that supports the CMC or MAPI e-mail standards. Microsoft® Outlook, Microsoft® Exchange, Microsoft® Windows™ Messaging, and Eudora all support one or more of these standards. If you have an Internet Service Provider that uses dial-up connection, you can install Exchange or Windows™ Messaging to create mail profiles.
Alarm++ will use the specified SMTP server when it needs to send e-mail. This option is recommended (over the profile options) due to Microsoft's method of protecting the Outlook address book (starting with Office 2000 SR-2). Please read Woody Leonhard's site for more information.
The name of your POP3 outbound mail server, such as: "mail.my_domain.com" (without the quotation marks). (Please consult your ISP for details.) This is the same server you configure for your e-mail client's outbound messages.
If you're unsure, leave this as the default (port 25). However, there may be instances where your ISP blocks this port and you need to use a different one.
Optional: If your POP3 mail server requires authentication, this is your account id.
Optional: If your POP3 mail server requires authentication, this is your account password.
Note: Alarm++ stores this password in the Registry, so if anyone else uses your computer, it's possible they could find your password in the Registry.
Your name as you want it to appear in the recipient's inbox, such as: "My Name" (without the quotation marks).
Your e-mail address that you want your recipients to use when they reply to your messages, such as: "my_name@my_domain.com" (without the quotation marks).
See the New Alarm and mail property page sections for more information on e-mail support for alarms.
When you are finished configuring your SMTP settings, press the Test button to see if Alarm++ can connect successfully.
