Active Desktop Calendar 7.4 Build 080128

Active Desktop Calendar is fully customizable calendar features notes, tasks, alarms, and displays its data on your desktop through blending with existing wallpaper. You can organize your data in layers and share them with other people on a local area network. The program can integrate with Outlook and show its appointments and tasks on the desktop. If you synchronize your PDA device (Pocket PC, Palm, smartphone) with Outlook then through this connection you also get a synchronization with PDA as a side effect. There are options for changing calendar icons, fonts and colors, marking weekdays of choice and marking dates with notes and/or alarms. You can have a text only version of the calendar and choose between displaying one, two or three months on the desktop. Recurrence patterns are available for both notes and alarms. An alarm can be stand alone or attached to a note. If interactive desktop option is enabled, the program accepts direct clicks on dates, notes and tasks displayed on the desktop.

Day View for notes
This new feature allows you to zoom in on all notes you have for a chosen date. You can access it from the main Notes Month View in several ways and the most obvious is 1-DAY button in the calendar navigation block. Additionally there is a new Notes Day View option accessible through the View menu or by right-clicking a date cell header. The keyboard shortcut is also available if you press Ctrl-1. The view lists all daily notes in detail: subject, body, time frame, attached icon and two special icons if an alarm and recurrence pattern are enabled. Free time slots are also added to the list and if a date icon is attached it will show up in the top left corner.
