[IxDA Discuss] Graphical methods for displaying time elapsed

[dnp607]

This is a great suggestion Dmitri, thank you. Since there are only 3  
alarms (and there's little chance of that growing to more in the  
future), showing each of the alarms on a separate scrollable timeline  
would reduce confusion. Example:

[alarm itself]: alarm timeline

[AlarmA]: * * * A * * *

[AlarmB]: * A * * * A *

[AlarmC]: * * * * * * *

..and then be able to scroll the alarm timeline. There can also be a  
clear scale showing where in the 30 minute period the alarm occurred.
