Check Out Rainlendar: Free Customizable Desktop Calendar

I've used the free version of Rainlendar (Lite) for over a year now at home and at the office. This nice calendar app puts a semi transparent calendar on your desktop. It can also have a list of upcoming events under it if you wish. The calendar fades when your mouse isn't over it so it doesn't interfere with your work. Like any calendar program you can schedule all your events (which are identified with icons on the calendar). There are a lot of options:

  • Always on top (or bottom
  • Different Skins
  • Display multiple months (or just one)
  • Display event lists
  • To-Do List
  • Recurring events
  • Variable fade/transparency
  • Search events and tasks
The Pro version ($15 Euros) offers shared calendars (on-line), Google calendar compatibility and Outlook supprt.
