New and improved widget for calendar?
 

Hi all...

The default widget for calendar on the N900 doesn't quite cut it for me. I am trying to find a widget that is larger, and shows more info.
A widget that fills about half a screen or so would be nice. It's just that I can't seem to find it.

Am I not looking in the right places? Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks :)

plus 1 from me

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

+1 for me as well! :)

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

+1, and a todo-widget as well, please!

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

good point.
Also like to have more control on what is shown in the widget.
I like to disable showing (selective) birthdays for example

Hi, I assume that you've already checked out the calendar apps, GPE calendar, homecalendar and mcalender, in the Application repositories?

Maybe we should ask Mozilla if they would also port Mozilla Sunbird (calendar) to Maemo?

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

GPE Calendar & mcalendar are alternative apps while homecalendar is a widget requiring mcalendar. Not what the OP inquired about, which was simply an alternative, larger widget.

I've read elsewhere here that Desktop widget dimensions are hard to change, so don't know what options we have.

+1 for change.

Aren't those complete calendars that are made to "replace" the default one?
//edit: digittante beat me to it

The built in calendar is fine as it is for me. I just want a better widget.

That'd be cool though.

Ya, coming from the Palm and WM world, it would be nice to have a full business scheduling suite. Maybe we should all ping Pimlico or Iambic and see if they're willing to port one of their suites. Trick would be smoothly integrating it with Maemo so it can benefit from the existing sync framework, other widgets, etc.

I hope to have some free time soon and I'd like to start some serious Maemo development. Maybe this could be my first app. :)

+1 for better calendar widget, and +1 for a Pimlical port > http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/Pimlical-ListView.gif

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

Certainly +1 for a more configurable calendar widget and a to-do widget too.

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

+1 from me too

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

I'd prefer Iambic Agendus (with full contacts integration, sure ;-)

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

+1... the defualt calendar widget is useless

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

You say you want a bigger widget... but, I want a smaller widget. :o)

A widget that looks like the built-in Calendar App Shortcut but actually show the correct date (not just always 12!) would be nice.

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

I want a bigger widget too, or even configurable number of entries. the calendar widget is the most important one for me. because it changes over time and gives you always up to date information. there are a lot of useless (for me) widgets out there, but calendar ist definitly a huge time saver.

all you guys who think alike, please vote for solution #14 in this brainstorm (need to sign up a maemo.org account):http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...endar_in_n900/

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

couldnt agree more. I find it so annoying that by clicking on widget it directly takes you to agenda view. You should have the option to open into a view of your choice

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

I want also a better calendar widget. I would like to have option to change the appearance for my needs. I need bigger To Do list for example, now there is only one line shown!

This is definately an urgent thing to accomplish..

Re: New and improved widget for calendar?
 

+1 for me.

please don't just say +1. please vote for solution #14 here: :http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...endar_in_n900/
