Rainlendar is a skinnable, easy-to-use calendar that resides on your desktop and shows the days of the current month. You can add events and tasks with customizable icons and formats to the calendar and be reminded when they occur. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications.

Note: Rainlendar Lite is the freeware version of Rainlendar Pro (Payware). The lite version is missing network shared calendars, Outlook support and other features.

Changelog

    When edited the tasks were always set as "all day" even if they were previously set with a time.
    Empty attachment property was added to events for calendars which did not support attachments.
    Additional tab in the editor is hidden if it has no fields.
    Authentication tokens between online calendars get mixed up when the same email address was used.

Changelog

Windows 64-bit binaries

    added an "Open Config Window" menu item to the tray icon.

N.B. CustomMenu treats the entire area above the taskbar as the desktop and any right-click in that area activates the menu. Adding the new menu item encroaches on the desktop area above the taskbar. Consequently, I have reserved the last 30 pixels above the taskbar to accommodate the new menu item; otherwise, left-clicking the menu item would have been treated as a desktop left-click and CustomMenu would have ignored it.

As a result, there is now a 30-pixel strip across the entire screen, just above the taskbar, which won't activate CustomMenu .
However...the added bonus of this is that if you right-click anywhere along this 30-pixel strip, because CustomMenu is now ignoring it, the standard Windows desktop menu will be displayed. Try it out!

#SilverLinings

All feedback on this new, user-requested mod is welcome in Discussions .

p.s. I strongly recommend that you only download CustomMenu from my repository here on Github.

CopyQ erweitert die Windows-Zwischenablage mit zusätzlichen Komfortfunktionen. Die Freeware speichert auf Wunsch die kopierten Objekte dauerhaft und bietet eine intelligente Suchfunktion.

Der Zwischenspeicher unter Windows ist bekanntlich leider allzu spartanisch und flüchtig. Wer auf bestimmte Inhalte zugreifen möchte, kommt meist zu spät. CopyQ verspricht Abhilfe, erweitert den Funktionsumfang des Zwischenspeichers und sorgt dafür, dass der Anwender auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt alle in die Zwischenablage kopierten Texte und Bilder weiterhin parat hat.

Nützlich ist die in CopyQ integrierte Such- und Bearbeitungsfunktion für alle in den Zwischenspeicher kopierten Elemente. Für Übersicht sorgen die konfigurierbaren Tabs. Mit der Notizfunktion kann man einzelne Texte oder Bilder zusätzlich kommentieren. Einzelne, nicht mehr benötigte Elemente lassen sich jederzeit aus der Liste beseitigen.

CopyQ bietet als erweiterte Zwischenablage all das, was man an den Standard-Bordmitteln vermisst. Es handelt sich um ein nützliches Tool für den Arbeits-Alltag, das beliebige Phrasen, Bilder oder andere Elemente in festlegbaren Kategorien festhält. So dient die Freeware auch bestens als Textbaustein-Datenbank.

Changelog

Changed

    Image editor (if set) will now open instead of built-in text editor when

    Fixes minimal size of dialogs ( #2299 ).
