Active Desktop Calendar is a fully customizable calendar with notes/appointments, tasks, alarms and contacts. It features seamless integration and interactivity with a desktop wallpaper, shares calendar layers in a local network and displays data directly from Outlook...
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? Well, stir in a bit of notebook, a piece of to-do list, some alarms, comprehensive address book and sophisticated desktop interactivity, and you will end up here, with Active Desktop Calendar, a thoughtfully designed organizer.
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 the notes/alarms view of the program. On the other hand, right-click brings up a menu with several items to choose from, and, if ever needed, option to exit application is one of them.
Active Desktop Calendar - changelog:
If you let the mouse pointer hover over a desktop note for which you entered both subject and description, then you will get the description show up as a tooltip. Of course, this works only if desktop interactivity is enabled.
