Treo 600 query

[juliet]

I was trying to locate a free alarm clock (countdown timer is what I'm actually after) for my Treo. Which I successfully did; but then discovered that it will seemingly only play alarms if the system tones are switched on. Having the system tones switched on means a little sound every single time you choose an application or whatever, & makes me want to kill things; so that's a non-starter. The alarm function on the DateBook works even with system tones switched off, I might add.

So: any of the Treo owners out there suggest a way around this?

Teapot (http://www.freewarepalm.com/clock/teapot.shtml) may do what you want.

It has up to five predefined countdown timers, each of which can have its own sound and custom animation. I've got the system sound disabled for much the same reason as you - the constant clicking-type-of-thing is highly annoying. I found that if I selected one of the Treo-provided sounds, for example "Classic" (called "midi: Classic" by TeaPot) then it sounded fine with the system sound turned off.

The only real problem I've found with it is that the current time left is only shown in the top left hand corner of the screen.

Cheers - this works, but I found the animation a bit irritating, & it's fairly limited. martling provided a link above to a version of BigClock compiled for Treo 600, which works fine & is a bit more flexible (& has more stuff!), so I'm going with that.

Ended up installing BigClock for my Treo as well; looks like a nice application.
