Rainlendar
I get a ton of
e-mails asking for Web sites with desktop wallpaper that features
the current month’s calendar. Well, I’ve gone one step
further and I’ve found a site that offers a free download of
a desktop calendar that is very customizable!
I have to tell
you, I’m already in love with it! Not only can you have a moveable
calendar on your desktop, but you can set up to-do lists and keep
track of important upcoming events.
To download it,
go to Downloads and select Rainlendar from the drop down menu. Or,
you can just click into the section and download it from there. It
is available for Windows (2000 and higher) and Linux. They even provide
installation instructions.
You may have noticed
on the drop down menu for Downloads that there was a listing for Skins.
With those, you can customize your calendar even more by making it
look the way you like it. I’m just using the default option,
because I think it’s pretty sleek, but there are 26 pages of
skins to go through, so if you decide to go that route, you have plenty
to choose from.
If you run into
a snag, try checking out the F.A.Q. section. There were a lot of really
great questions answered there, but if you don’t find what you're
looking for, you can also hit the forum and try asking there.
Basically, I installed
the Rainlendar, double clicked its icon to start it and the calendar
instantly appeared on my screen. Just drag the calendar where you
want to put it on your desktop with your mouse.
To create a new
event, just right click the calendar and choose New Event. That will
open the event window where you can title your events, set the date
and time and even set up an alarm so that you don’t forget to
do something!
To make an entry
on the To-Do list, right click the calendar and select New Task. Then
just fill out the title. Also, in the large text list, you can put
a listing or description of what all needs to be done. You can then
mouse over that event on the To-Do list and it will bring up the details
for you.
I hope you all
love this Web site as much as I already do!
