nice work

Cool!

[mr.louie]

Love it!
Maybe nice if you could actually flip the pages... like the title states...

[Jon Abbott]

v0.2.0.0 available. Added colour to the top section. Had to botch it with scaled fonts (Wingdings 3), so let me know if it doesn't work.

Very Cool

Is there any way to apply some kind of anti-aliasing to the text on the gadget? The text (the month and the number) seem rather jaggy.

Not as it currently stands, it's a bug/feature in Sidebar. I'll switch it to VML if it's possible, it may end up looking messy though with a pink border, so it's going to take some time and a lot of fiddling to fix.

v0.3.0.0 available.

Month text is now VML to sort out the aliasing issues with g:text, when the fontsize is below 18pt.

v0.4.0.0 available. The mini calendars are now generated as VML text, and update as the month changes

Can you make it bigger?
However good job!!!

[KoalaCarlo]

I make these changes:

// change the Gadget size based on it's docked state
function dockedState() {
try{
var gWidth, gHeight;

if (System.Gadget.docked) {
gWidth = 135;
gHeight = 135;
zoom = 135/300;

i think it looks better!!!

I think also that the text have to be larger

Not got around to sorting the size out yet, I'll probably make it user resizeable.

Which text needs to be larger? There's not a lot of room to increase it. Play around my all means.

[KoalaCarlo]

ok, i'll wait for resizeable version...
i prefer a larger "day" text... maybe using a different font.
I tried arial but i didn't like it...
however i like the konfabulator calendar... take a look for inspiration!

[KoalaCarlo]

i tried "Arial rounded mt bold"... it looks nice!

Try it!
