You can choose to show the time remaining for alarms in the main window by right clicking on the alarm list titles, and selecting "Time to" as one of the columns to display. Whether you entered the actual time, or used the "time from now" convenience way of entering the time, is not remembered after the alarm edit dialogue is closed. They are simply different ways of specifying the same value.
