Softpedia Editor's Review for Desktop Calendar
|
Easily manage your important tasks from your desktop
Written by Bogdan Popa on April 18th, 2012
Desktop Calendar is a very basic calendar that comes with an event reminder and a simple layout to fit any Windows desktop.
It’s almost impossible not to figure out how to use the program, not only because everything’s so basic, but also thanks to the fact that Desktop Calendar uses quite an intuitive approach.
After launch, the program places the calendar in the top left corner of the screen and in order to move it around, you need to press the “Shift” key on the keyboard and click any of the controls under the calendar to drag it to a new location.
Although it comprises some basic interface customization options, Desktop Calendar is far from being an eye-candy application, so no, it doesn’t offer skins, color themes or things like that to make it more appealing.
Instead, it comes with an event reminder that can be configured with just a few clicks, as it doesn’t pack more advanced options such as multiple types of notifications.
As you can see, Desktop Calendar is just a very simple piece of software, so most users may be disappointed with the lack of features and customization options.
Still, it works well on all Windows versions and it obviously remains very light on hardware resources all the time, which can only be good news for those using older workstations.
All in all, Desktop Calendar does nothing more than its name suggests: it’s only a calendar with a very basic event reminder and incredibly simple customization options.
