Wonder if anyone has ever used this free desktop calendar - and if you, did you like it?

Rainlendar

Apparently ...

(Quote) "Rainlendar is a great little calendar program. It sits right on your desktop. It can look like a part of your wallpaper. But you can interact with it. It’s actually pretty sleek.

It has three independent panes. There’s one each for the calendar, upcoming events and a to-do list. You can place them anywhere on your desktop.

Double-click any day on the calendar to add an event. You can enter a title, time, description and category. Each category comes with a different icon. There’s an airplane for travel events. You’ll get a star icon for birthdays, and so on. The icons sit over their designated day. So, you can see the kind of event with just a glance.

You can set alarms for any event. You’ll get a reminder when you have something to do. Current and upcoming events are also displayed in the Events pane. So, there are several ways to stay on top of your schedule.

You can also create a to-do list for your miscellaneous items. Everything on your list is displayed in the To Do pane. You can also customize the calendar with different skins. You’ll find new skins on the Rainlendar Web site. You’ll be able to match the calendar to your computer’s theme". (Unquote)

I ask because I used to have a great little desktop calendar - one that I just clicked it's desktop icon and could click each day and simply add/delete stuff ... and am hoping this one is easy to use.

I have downloaded this Mara, give me a couple of days to play about with it and I'll get back to you.

Initially it looks good.

That is so kind of you, Wolfey - really do appreciate it.

It's so often difficult to find a program that does what one needs yet isn't to 'bloated' that it's hard to run - or equally bad, takes up enormous space on one's computer.

Again, thank you - so lovely of you to 'test drive' new programs!
