Alarm Period: Check the "In" box if you would like have the note to alarm in a specified period of time. For example, if you set up the period to "3 days" and enable the alarm of the note, the moment you save the configurations 7 Sticky Notes will start a count down of 3 days and, once the time is reached, the note will pop up shaking on your Desktop (and playing a sound, if you set it up) for you to know that the alarm activated. The time period can be configured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months, using the drop down list of this parameter.


Alarm Time: Check the "At" box if you would like to have the note to alarm at a exact day and hour, specified at the time selection box on the left and the day selection box on the right. For example, if now is 20:38 of May 18, 2012, and you setup the alarm time for 4 hours from now, 0:38 of May 19, 2012, the moment you save the configurations 7 Sticky Notes will start a count down of 4 hours and exactly at 0:38, the note will pop up shaking on your Desktop (and playing a sound, if you set it up) for you to know that the alarm triggered. Tip: right click the date and time selection boxes to set them as "Now".

Important note: It does not matter if 7 Sticky Notes is open or not, if the configured alarm time has passed, the next time you run the program it will detect that the alarm is due and will alarm all necessary notes.

Recurrence Setup: Check the "Repeat" box to enable the alarm recurrence. If this option is enabled, right after the note alarms it will use the configured recurrence parameters to keep repeatedly alarming. You can right click the time selection boxes to set it the current time ("Now"). The alarm recurrence section of 7 Sticky Notes was specially made with several bundled options so you can fully customize the times and dates the alarm will repeat:

     • Daily: alarm every specified hour, minute and second.
     • Weekly: alarm at selected days of the week (Monday-Sunday), and
        at a specific hour, minute, and second of every selected day.
     • Monthly: alarm at a specified day, hour, minute, and second of every month
     • Yearly: alarm at a specified month, day, hour, minute, and second of every month
     • Custom: Use a definable period of time between the recurrent alarms. The time period can be
        configured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months, using a drop down list.

Alarm Sound List: Specifies the alarm sound for the note using any sound present at the Sounds List of 7 Sticky Notes, which you can configure at the "Sleep/Alarm" section of 7 Sticky Notes options. Once you select a sound from the list, a small "Play" button is showed on the left, to allow you to hear the selected sound:
Set/Cancel Buttons: Used to Apply or to Discard the defined alarm configurations. If you apply the alarm configurations (press the "Set" button, then the "Enable Alarm Checkbox" at the alarms tab of the Configuration Window will be automatically set.
