Not a clean up item but a wish list item.
could the actual minute number of the server cycle be displayed.
The clock helps but it is still possible to miss count with the first
minute being 0 .
or possibly change the background colour of the minute selection box.
Say red then an orange colour the minute before and green during the set
minute.
running 0.8.6 by the way.
