Rainlendar project is a customizable desktop calendar.
Rainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesn't take much space on your desktop. The application is platform independent so you can run it both on Windows and on Linux. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.
It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. You can also subscribe to online calendars and see your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar*.
Rainlendar is an unicode application and support localization so you can use it on your own language.
All the coming events are shown in a separate list where you can see the week's events at one glance. You can decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. Different events can have a different appearance in the list so you can easily spot the important events from the others. The icons in the calendar are also available in the event list and other windows to make it easier to separate the events.
You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. The task list can be arranged several ways so that you can keep it better organized. You can also set a due date for the tasks to make sure you'll remember to do them on time.
You'll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you don't miss it. The alarm can be defined to be set off any duration before the actual event so you have time to prepare for it.
And that's not all. Check the list of features for better overview of all the things Rainlendar can do. If you find it useful go to the download page and get yourself a copy.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added info text to the task editor which is shown in the recurrence tab if the due date is not set.
· The info text also notifies if the alarm won't be shown because it is either ignored in the calendar or the skin lacks the alarm window.
· Switching between events and tasks in the manager didn't update the menu items.
· Changing relative start or end time on an event or task which didn't define the property moved the time to start of year 0.
· Double click handler works in month view now too.
· Process completed functionality is disabled for Google tasks.
· Rainlendar_ReadFile() doesn't convert the text to lowercase anymore.
· The window specific settings dialog can be opened from the windows submenu.
· The snooze time can be relative to the target time (i.e. event's start or task's due time). Relative times can be defined with 'r' postfix (e.g. "10r").
· Added few predefined choices for the time and date formats in the advanced options.
· Updated the 3rd party libraries: curl, lua, openssl, zlib
· Created a workaround for a crash problem which happened on 64-bit Kubuntu when the event or todo dialog was closed.
