Version 0.19.2

Info:

á
á
á
á
á
Rainlendar is a very customizable calendar that resides on your desktop and shows the days of the current month. The calendar can use different skins to fit your taste (and theme). You can use different fonts and colors, select the background image or even make the calendar's background transparent. All the customization can be done with a simple GUI.

The calendar can also synchronize the events with a server, which will allow you to use it e.g. at home and at work. There are plenty of other features too. Check the rest of this document for details.

Install:

á
á

Installing for Explorer

If you are in doubt, just get the installer version of Rainlendar from my web page (http://www.iki.fi/rainy) and run it. If you dislike installers, you can also get the zipped archive and uncompress it to some folder. Rainlendar is ready to be used after that.

Rainlendar is installed for the current user by default. If you want to install it for different users, just run the installer for each of them.

Installing for Litestep

Rainlendar works also as Litestep's plugin. To install in Litestep grap the zip archive and just copy the Rainlendar.dll and the skin & language folders to your Litestep directory (e.g. C:\Litestep\). You don't need the Rainlendar.exe if you are using Rainlendar as Litestep plugin. After copying, open your step.rc and add following line:

LoadModule C:\Litestep\Rainlendar.dll

... and recycle. If that doesn't work, check the config part of this document for additional step.rc commands that you might need. You can also put the Rainlendar in other folder if you like, just make sure that the LoadModule path points to the correct place (as well as other Rainlendar specific step.rc commands).

Uninstalling

If you installed Rainlendar with the installer you can uninstall it from the "Add or Remove Programs". Otherwise just delete all the files you uncompressed from the zip-file (make sure that Rainlendar isn't running when doing that).

Config:
á
á
á
á
á
á
General Settings

The basic configuration of the calendar is done from a GUI which you open from the popup-menu. The settings are saved in a Rainlendar.ini-file when you press the OK-button. The configuration dialog only has the general, layout, hotkeys and server settings. The skin settings can be found from the "Edit Current Skin..."-menuitem.

General

Event
The event text can be shown in a tooltip when the mouse goes over an event day. Also a messagebox can be shown when Rainlendar is started on a day that has an event or when the day changes to a event day. You can limit the width of the tooltip and message windows. The value is given as pixels and 0 means that there is no limitation. The messagebox can be also shown on specific time to alarm you about some event. To use this feature just add the time in front of the event text (the format is HH:MM). Any command (or !Bang) can be executed on an event day (Leave the textbox empty if you don't want to execute anything). You can use %m (or %n) to insert the event text in the command.

Outlook settings
The appointments from the Outlook can be shown in the calendar like normal events. The Outlook's events are read-only in Rainlendar and therefore they cannot be edited or deleted. You need to use Outlook if you want to change something. Also, Outlook has more options to define repeating events than Rainlendar, so some appointments might not be shown in the correct place. The Outlook's appointments use a profile callend "Outlook" incase you want to customize their appearance.

Start hidden
If selected Rainlendar starts hidden. You need to use the !Bang-commands, hotkeys or the tray icon to show the calendar. This setting can be removed manually by removing StartHidden=1 line from the Rainlendar.ini file.

Start weekdays from Monday
If selected the first weekday in calendar is Monday. Otherwise it's Sunday.

Disable hotkeys
If selected the keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Note that this setting doesn't apply to the global hotkeys defined in the Hotkeys-tab.

Use window name
Names the window (as "Rainlendar") if enabled. BTW the class name of the window is also "Rainlendar", if you need that to make Rainlendar sticky in virtual desktop managers.

Poll wallpaper changes
If Rainlendar doesn't automatically notice wallpaper changes (as it should), you can enable this feature. When enabled Rainlendar checks once per second if the name of the wallpaper has been changed and if it has, the calendar is automatically refreshed. If you're using native transparency you should probably keep this disabled.

Snap to screen edges
If selected the window will snap to the edges of the screen. You can deactivate the snapping by holding CTRL-key down while dragging the window.

Use native Windows transparency
If selected the calendar will use the native Windows transparency for its alphablended window. Otherwise the alphablending is done manually. Native transparency works only with Windows 2000 and XP. Note that native transparency cannot be used if the window is set OnDesktop.

Refresh when screen resolution changes
If selected the calendar is automatically refreshed when the screen resolution is changed. Note that this may cause problems with some games and applications.

Week containing Jan 1st is the first week of the year
This is an alternative week numbering that is used in some countries. Normally the week 1 is the one containing year's first Thursday.

Use separator in tooltips
If selected a horizontal line is drawn between the events in the tooltip.

Show tray icon
This displays the current date in your system tray. Doubleclicking the icon toggles the calendar.

Layout

Position
The horizontal and vertical position of the calendar-window relative to top left corner. The width and height of the window is calculated automatically from the background size and from the items inside the window.

The OnBottom makes the window to stay behind other windows when it's activated with mouse. Normal is a normal Z-positioning of the window and OnTop makes the calendar to stay on top of other windows. The OnDesktop setting is similar to OnBottom except that it makes a child window of the desktop. The benefit from this is that the calendar will be visible event if Explorer's "Show Desktop" command is issued. There are also few negative side-effects from using this (e.g. you cannot use it with native transparancy, the keyboard shortcuts do not work and the calendar disappears from time to time especially when new skin is selected). The OnDesktop only works with Explorer shell.

Todo list
The todo list is a separate window where you can things that you need to do (or whatever).

Other settings
If "Movable window" is selected, the calendar can be moved with the mouse. Please note that if the background has an alpha mask or the desktop is copied behind the calendar, the moving is really slow and can cause problems with some graphics cards. So, I'd suggest to use this feature only with non-alpha backgrounds or with native transparency.

The "Hide on mouse over" hides the calendar when the mouse is over the window. The calendar will reappear once the mouse is moved off the window. You can disable this feature temporarily by holding shift, alt or control button down while moving the mouse.

"Remember dialog positions" will save the place (and size) where a dialog was closed last time and open it in the same location in the next time.

With "Make negative coordinates relative to bottom right corner" enabled you can position the calendar e.g. to the bottom right corner and keep it there event if you change the screen resolutions. Note that if you have enabled "Movable window" the negative coordinates are converted to positive when the window is moved.

Layout
This defines how many months are shown in the calendar at the same time. You can set the horizontal and vertical count for the months as well as the the number of previous months are displayed. The "Start from January" option shows January always as the first month. This is useful if you want to show all year at the same time on the desktop.

Hotkeys

This page enables to add hotkeys to various actions. The hotkeys are global so it's not necessary to have Rainlendar activated when pressing the keys. It's adviced not to use too simple hotkeys (like Shift + A) since that would execute the hotkey every time you write capital A letter.

Server

Enable server synconization
If selected the events are syncronized with a server. Please note that the client-server syncronizationáis still an experimental feature. So, unless you know a little about how client-server TCP connections work and how your network is set up, perhaps you should skip this feature. Of course nothing prevents you from trying, after all the worst thing that can happen is that your harddrive corrupts and you lose all your data (just kidding, that should almost never happen :-)

Ok, now that I've scared away most of the potential users, I can give some details about this feature.

Address
This is the address of the the computer that runs the RainlendarServer. You can use the IP number or the network name if the machine has one. Note that there is no public server that you can connect to (as far as I know), so you need to run the RainlendarServer on your own computer or on a one that you have access to.

Port
The is the port that the Rainlendar tries to connect to. You can use any port you wish, just make sure that it's the same what RainlendarServer is listening.

ID
The ID is the identification for your events. The server will use the ID to store and retrieve the events. So, you can use the same server to store different events from clients by giving different IDs. Please note that there is no security checks or authentication of any kind, so basically anyone who can access to the server from network can read and modify your events. If you are running Linux version of the server, the ID is case sensitive.

Update
This defines how often the events are requested from the server. You can set this to zero to disable the automatic requests.

Request events on startup
If selected, the events are requested from the server when Rainlendar starts.

Sync event before editing
If selected, the event is synced with the server before you can edit it. Note that this does not guarantee that your modifications do not overwrite someone else's modifications if several people are sharing the same events (but it makes the chance smaller).

Sync Now
When clicked, all the events are sent immediately to the server and server's events are requested back. This is useful when testing the network connection. The status of the connection is displayed in the listbox above the button. The most important thing you should check is that the network thread completes successfully. If that doesn't happen it means that the thread hangs for some reason and the allocated resources are not free'ed. In that case I suggest that you write a comprehensive bug-report and send it to me.

It is also possible that the server locks up sometimes (especially if you click the Sync Now-button repeatedly). The server will in that state just inform that it's busy and cannot serve you at the moment. If that happens you should just wait a while as the server should reset itself in couple of minutes automatically (if it doesn't, restart it manually and write a comprehensive bug-report :-).

Skinning Settings

The skin files can be edited from the GUI or poking directly to the ini-files. Check Skinning.txt for more info.

Step.rc

These are Litestep specific settings that are placed in the step.rc file. Remember to put the paths inside quotes if you have spaces in them!

RainlendarPath
This defines the path to the Rainlendar.ini file, which contains the general settings.

RainlendarEventsPath
This defines the path to the Events.ini file, which contains the user defined events. If this is not defined the RainlendarPath is used instead. This path is also used for the Todo.ini file.

RainlendarSkinsPath
This defines the folder where the skin subfolders are. If this is not defined the RainlendarPath is used instead.

RainlendarLanguagesPath
This defines the folder where the language files are. If this is not defined a Language-folder under the RainlendarPath is used instead.

RainlendarCurrentSkin
The name of current skin. This can be used to force the use of some skin. This overrides the settings in Rainlendar.ini. You must also define RainlendarCurrentSkinIni.

RainlendarCurrentSkinIni
The name of current skin ini-file.

á

á
Bangs:
á
á
