I see. This wasn’t clear from the interface. As I said, I thought I can set the
duration of the alarm there, not how much earlier it gets displayed.

I did it with 6 minutes in the future since I didn’t want to wait that long, and
it worked. Orages notification window did appear and show my event.

So thanks for your help!

No, I try to keep as little tray icons as possible to prevent cluttering my panel.


Have a nice day, Mathias
