Calendar

[Redcloud]

There are a gazillion basic calendar programs. I don't need or like Outlook, just want a good basic well designed calendar program. Any suggestions?

Rainlendar - free, simple, and lots of great skins.

Mozilla Sunbird is in early stages, but is nice basic calendar. Also has version that integrates into FF or Tbird.

Its a nice program. The problem is I can't put it in the start up menu because of the dl file. I would like calender to come up with the system boot. Otherwise, I have to dig it out of a file directory to start. This is a feature I would like. How do I get the program to boot up?

[Redcloud]

Sorry, I was refwerring to Rainlender. I gues I could try Mozilla Sunbird.

I'm not using the e-mail client mozilla supports. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Just a note... in future, edit your previous posts instead of making a new one.

How do you have Rainlendar set to start? You should simply be able to install the program to a directory (like C:\Program Files\Rainlendar\) and then create a shortcut to the Rainlendar.exe file in your startup folder.

Thanx.

The others are nice but give this one a try.

Desktop Calendar XP its free and its upgradeable.

I tried to load other skins, but I can't seem to get them to work. How do I incorporate another skin so that Rainlender recognizes that I have other skins in my system besides the 2 default skins?

[Zxian]

You just need to select another skin, and the menu will then be refreshed.

Make sure that the skins are not buried another level below the skins directory (i.e. /skins/blah/blah/<files>), which can happen sometimes with certain decompression programs.

The original installation placed Skins Folder in the same folder in which rainmaker.exe resides. I unzipped the new skin into the Skins folder so it shares the folder with the original skins. The Skin folder now contains folders for the 2 original skins plus the new skin. Each Skin folder contains files which are similar such as .pgn and .ini files. Trying to change skins again just allows me the 2 original skins. What additional steps do I need to perform?

[Zxian]

It sounds like you've got the right idea...here is a screenshot of my directories just for refrence.

Does this happen with all skins, or just one? It could be a poorly made skin file with a bummed ini or something...

[Redcloud]

I see that your file structure is different then mine. You have your subfolders directly under Rainlender folder , whereas mine share the save level. But this is how the installation went.

[Zxian]

What do you mean that the subfolders are at the same level? Something like

/Languages
/Plugins
/Skins
/Shadow 3.1
/Tranquil

or rather...

/Languages
/Plugins
/Skins
/Skins/Shadow 3.1
/Skins/Tranquil

The second option is more like mine (with the skin folders in the Skins directory), but you're saying it's not like that...maybe a similar screenshot would be easiest (a picture is worth a thousand words).
