CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Need to keep up to date? Try the unobtrusive but feature-rich Active Desktop Calendar. Launching at start-up, it displays an attractive three-month calendar view on, yes, your desktop. By double-clicking a day or the sidebar, you can quickly access tasks and see details of upcoming events. You also can display Outlook information and connect to other people's calendars via LAN to see changes in their schedules. There's also a simple contact manager. Considering all the cool stuff it does, Active Desktop Calendar doesn't consume much memory.

We did notice a few shortcomings in this generally excellent program. For example, though the window for adding a new note contains a subject line and a body field, only the subject-line text appears on the calendar and the sidebar. On the bright side, you can switch among several desktop images and set the program as the default screensaver, which will display several world clocks. Active Desktop Calendar also exports and imports iCal calendar files. Overall, its strong functionality and design make it a great choice for home and business users.
