Personally I don't mind if an alarm shows up for a few days. I *do* mind
though, that it stays very red and keeps on making a warning sound (if
enabled).

Why not make it silent and less red (light-red, or orange or something
like that) after it has been acknowledged?

Advantage: you don't foget about it, like you would when it becomes
hidden. And you are not alarmed by it either, because it does not make a
sound, does not generate an SMS (or whatever) and is not red anymore.

Greetings,

Marco
