Help Alarm and Swype keyboard questions.

OK folks... I have lurked here and learned A LOT about root, and making the phone WAAAY better than I ever thought I would. I have since rooted, loaded Apex 1.4 and Watermark'D it but I just have a few quick things I would love to get some help on changing if I can.

I first started on the Android platform with a SF and the one thing I loved about the phone was that when I set an alarm it would alert on both the external speaker and in headphones if they were plugged in. I have since given that phone to my wife and inherited my step fathers DX because he wanted to go to a PRO.

The problem is this; I listen to music at night to go to bed and I have been having issues getting up because the ear buds fall out over night (obviously) and all I barely hear is the vibrate the DX makes in the alarms. Is there a setting I am missing or a program that will allow the alarms to sound on the external speaker?? I would REALLY appreciate that. :p

Next little issue since I am using Watermark'D (which I love and is so aesthetically pleasing) when I am using Swype, the trail is so light it is hard to see where I came from. Is there a way to darken the trail and or can someone suggest a keyboard that I can use with Swype that can do this?

Again thank you to everyone here and please keep up the good work. I love seeing the new things that come out and check this forum more than I probably should on a daily basis. :D

hmmmm that is a question i haven't seen before regarding the X. Honestly i've never tried it. It seems like there would be a setting or something you could check to allow sound out of the ext speaker and the jack. Are you using the stock alarm or one from the Market?

Stock alarm from the clock on the phone. I would assume there would be an option to check but I can't for the life of me see why I do not hear it come through.
