I GOT IT WORKING! YAY!

And I LOVE IT!

BUT.... And there always is a BUT isn't there.

The "Past Hours" Setting,,

Can we make it have like 10 minute increments?

Zero time and the time it is right now is dead on the end of the window, 
so it's hard to see whats has very recently happened, Yet when in only 2 
hour future mode even just one hour Past setting uses up a LOT of the 
window,

Like in 10 Minutes increments would be awesome!
