Rainy - ( Freeware)
Since it is essential to be well organized, Rainlendar is a great option, offering a detailed schedule of tasks so that important events and other appointments not to be missed are not forgotten.
Rainlendar is a calendar that appears more on the Windows desktop where user can record all the tasks to be performed such day, as time and events and important appointments.
It appears to be below all windows, such as glued on the bottom of the screen or transparent in the foreground, in front of any windows. A number of skins are available including a reflecting display.
Rainlendar can read appointments from Outlook and colors the days that contain schedule. By just placing the mouse over one of them user can see the list of appointments for the day.
Rainlendar also offers the possibility to launch an alert when an event occurs. The user only has to set the date and time and the software takes care of the alert at that time.
Rainlendar is able to synchronize with a server (which runs both Windows and Linux). It then becomes possible to have appointments updated both at home and at the office.
This small application has the advantage of being customized according to user preferences. Indeed, the export or import iCal (iCalendar) is possible thanks to the integrated skins.
# Changes:
* Fixes to the free day calendar layout.
* The manager could show current dates for recurring events before the actual start date.
* In advanced skin options it's now possible to move only the default windows to the active list.
* Changed the network and traytip delays to seconds in the settings.
* Failure to read events from Outlook did not always show an error message.
* Changed the way advanced options are handled so that translations won't affect incorrect setting.
* Added "None"-method for Google alarms which disables the default Google Calendar alarms.
* Dragging tasks under different sections in the to do list did not update the item.
* Added option to show the empty days in the event list.
* The default alarm for Outlook events did not dismiss unless the calendar was refreshed.
* It's not possible to use ';'-character in the calendar name since it is a separator when multiple calendars are used.
* The characters on event description were converted to utf-8 in Outlook events.
* Skin windows can be resized with the mouse.
* The EXDATE for events with time is stored as DATE-TIME instead just as DATE.
* Image scaling uses now nearest neighbour algorithm which doesn't give as good results but is much faster. Use Options->Advanced->"Scaling quality" to change the quality.
* Fixed a crash bug in CalDAV when events were using time zones.
