var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "A small calendar and event reminder that unobtrusively sits on your desktop and is ready to use any time. No taskbar button or system tray icon. The calendar is transparent so it's not an eyesore and consumes very little memory. Enter as many daily or regular reminders as you like. Float your mouse over a day to see all reminders for the day. Shows a short list of upcoming reminders below the calendar. Fonts, colours and tooltips are customisable so it blends in with your desktop colour and font schemes.

To locate the calendar anywhere on your desktop, hold down the shift key then click and drag any of the navigation buttons under the calendar. To save this as the new default position, right click and select Save Position.


The currently selected date is at the top, below that the days of the month, a few navigation buttons and a short list of upcoming reminders at the bottom.

To enter reminders for any day, float the mouse over the desired day until it is higlighted then right click and select the Edit Reminders option.

To change the display options, right click anywhere over the calendar and select Options.

The five navigation buttons below the calendar allow you to move backward and forward to different months and years.

Desktop Calendar uses special API transparency functions only available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP and later. For this reason it performs a check of the Windows version on startup and halts if it thinks you don't have the required version. In some, as yet, unknown circumstances, the version check gets it wrong. If you think this might be the case for you, add the /noversion command line parameter to the shortcut."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
