Desktop Calendar 7.0.0.6

Desktop Calendar practically includes two interfaces, one for displaying the current date, together with the next five days, and also a Windows widget that displays the calendar for the current month, together with all the added tasks. Speaking about tasks, they can be added by simply clicking on one of the calendar days. After doing this, the user can add any type of information, together with an icon, for making it easier to differentiate a task from another. Tasks can be configured to have an alarm sounding some time before they are due.

The configuration section of the widget allows customizing its color and also the format of the date displayed. Besides that, it can be set to start together with Windows. Furthermore, all the tasks can be imported from various applications, using CSV file and can also be exported using the same file type.

Pros:
