    "Better than ical"

    November 29, 2008  |   By hkim

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    The GUI is much better in some ways than ical, which I never really liked. I can actually adjust the background and text colors, as well as modify the text so that certain events are easier to find and pop out better than ical.

    Because there is a sea of numbers in the main window, at first, it is a bit distracting because it is not quite in the common wall calendar format that one is so accustomed to. Perhaps if this were slightly modified to match such, it might be easier to take in events at a glance.

    Navigating inside the calendar is messy and this is the main weakness as for what I experience when I want to scroll back or forward from month to month. One can navigate using the large date tag in the upper left-hand corner but this is confusing because one is switching between working with different formats of information, which is a problem.

    The "span" tool works but it is not apparent just what it does at first glance. Perhaps there might be a better way to make this more apparent than just clicking around with it as I did.

    Importing ical events has some problems but I am sure the developer will work those out, thus I mention them in passing only.

    A better program icon could only help (for the application).

    This is a really good free-ware effort, IMHO. Well done.
