Desktop Calendar - Active Desktop Calendar 4.0 by XemiComputers Ltd.
|
Fully customizable PIM displayed as your desktop wallpaper with genuine direct click user interface. Create pleasant working atmosphere by changing calendar icons, fonts and colors. Runs in systray and features: notes, tasks, alarms, data export/import and its own screen saver. Average computer user will find calendar as a component of many applications on his machine, but chances are good that he will stay unsatisfied with all of them. Usually made just to be there, those calendars are either too complicated or too many clicks away, or even both. What if you wanted just a simple old-fashioned calendar, to show you dates and days of the week, without making big fuss about that? Well, stir in a bit of notebook, a piece of to-do list, some alarms and sophisticated active desktop functionality, and you will end up here, with Active Desktop Calendar, a thoughtfully designed calendar utility you were looking for all the time. The basic idea standing behind this program is very simple. In our 3D world, logical place for a calendar is hanging on the wall, or sitting somewhere on top of the desk. Active Desktop Calendar is aiming right in that direction by placing a calendar on your machine's desktop wallpaper. Of course, that means you will have to sacrifice some desktop space, and maybe rearrange a couple of icons, but you will be able to fine tune the appearance of this calendar to get good compromise on those issues. When you start Active Desktop Calendar, it will replace existing wallpaper with new bitmap made of previous wallpaper enriched with calendar elements, and place its icon in systray. That icon is actually a number representing current day of the month and, of course, serves to access application's user interface. Double-click on it, and you will find yourself straight in a dialog for manipulating notes. On the other hand, right-click brings up menu list with several items to choose from, and, if ever needed, option to exit application is one of them. With or without calendar elements, wallpaper is always just a bitmap, meaning that nothing can be done directly on screen, right? Wrong. Active Desktop Calendar is real active desktop application! If you choose to enable View As Web Page option for your desktop, you will be able to interact with Active Desktop Calendar in absolutely effortless fashion. Double-click on a date in calendar and you are already writing a note for it; double-click on any note shown on screen to edit it; or double-click on tasks list to update it. It's that simple. Multiuser support allows each user on a single computer installation to have its own calendar data set (notes, tasks, alarms) along with one common data set that is shared with all other users. This option is useful even on single user computers because you can maintain two separate data sets, for example one private and the other for business. Pay attention to the title bar of program dialogs and you will see current user and data set info. |
