By darkliquid (Desklet Author), on Fri Mar 11 08:56:21 2005: New Release: Calendar-0.2.0.

I've just finished a new version of Calendar. It's more or less a large reorganisation of the original code base with lots of extra features added on.

It should hopefully be downloadable from the desklets page shortly, if not, my bzipped-tar file can be found here,and its md5sum here.

Features
Customisable header cell (font, font colour, border colour, background colour)
Customisable day cells (font, font colour, border colour, background colour)
Customisable date cells (font, font colour, border colour, background colour)
Customisable today cell (font, font colour, border colour, background colour)
Customisable past days cells (font, font colour, border colour, background colour)
Customisable cell padding between cells
Calendar automatically scales to accomodate the largest font

Themeing
For the moment, themeing can be done through the config.txt file that will be generated when first running the desklet. When setting colours, use HTML style colour codes. If you want to set alpha transparency, you can do so like this: ?FFFFFF? = fully white, ?FFFFFF80? = white at 50% transparency. Note the extra hex byte value for transparency. To remove border/backgrounds/etc just set the colour to 100% transparency

Planned
Adding a simple way to include theme classes that override the standard theme
Adding a pixmap-based theme system
Adding a way to set reminders that are triggered at the appropriate date/time
Other stuff I have yet to think of
