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 and sophisticated
desktop interactivity, 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 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.
With or without calendar elements, wallpaper is always just
a bitmap, meaning that nothing can be done directly on the
screen, right? Wrong. Active Desktop Calendar is an interactive
desktop application! If that option is enabled, 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 to edit it, or double-click on tasks list to update it.
It's that simple. |
