Alarms

In the main window you can see the active alarms. Those can be:

a contact's birthday
a holiday
an event
a task that is not completed (and has the alarm active)

The active alarms (if any) will be displayed:

in the main window, on the alarms tab
in a popup at program startup, and from time to time (if this option is enabled)
on your wallpaper (if this option is enabled)
the tray icon (5) will flash (faster if there are any events today, slower if there are events in the next few days)

In the main window are display the active alarms, ordered by date. Here you can see the name (1), type (2) and date (3) of the event (or the current status for tasks).

If you click on a birthday, the contact's details will be shown.
If you click on an event, a window containing the event's details will appear
If you double click on any type of event, Smart Reminder will focus on that event, in it's category (e.g. if you double click on someone's birthday, the program will switch to the address book tab and focus that person's profile)

Every time you will run Smart Reminder, it will display a popup (4) with the active alarms (or every time you start you computer if the program is set up to run at windows start up). You can also make the program to repeat this popup once every few hours (1-10 hours). To do that you have to go to the Alerts page in the Options (Ctrl+O) window.

If you want to always have onscreen the current alarms you can activate the option "Write on wallpaper" (Options > Misc settings). Once activated Smart Reminder will write (6) all the current active alarms on your wallpaper. The program will rewrite your wallpaper in the following cases:

if the current active alarms change
if you change the wallpaper
if you choose the option "Clear wallpaper" (the program will show only the wallpaper, with nothing written on it)
if the current date changes (at midnight)

If you activate the "Quiet mode" option Smart Reminder won't crate any more popups and won't flash the tray icon.
