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:
- Month items were not aligned correctly due to the changes made in the previous build. Fixed.
- Moved the buttons to the left in the options dialog to make it more netbook friendly.
- Added the missing "linkcolor" attribute for text items.
- Added timezone and label support for the analog clock in the Chromophore skin.
- Recurring events with until date could not always be updated to Google Calendar. Fixed.
- The FREE layout in calendar can now show also weekdays.
- Lua scripts can be run on window initialization and redraw (see Rainlendar_SetEventHandler).
- Mouse events didn't work with FREE calendar layout. The <calendar> must now define width and height which contains all the day positions for this to work.
- Fixed a crash which happened if the skin didn't have a tooltip and todo list was set to custom sort order.
- Calendar file monitoring now checks also changes in the file modification date.
- Added a small delay before the components are reloaded after changes are detected so that sequential updates cause just one operation.
- The mouse cursor changes to a hand when it is over a button.
