Easy access calendar with gdeskcal
I live and die by the calendar. In all of my incarnations the calendar is my daily best friend. I use Google Calendar, Lightning, and another, lesser known calendar app – gdeskcal. The gdeskcal is more of an applet that can reside on nearly any desktop (although it was written for the GNOME desktop) which gives you quick access to a simple to use calendar. But gdeskcal is not just an applet showing you dates. Because gdeskcal works seamlessly with Evolution, you can add events and reminders to this handy app. You can even theme gdeskcal, and move it around.
What I like most about gdeskcal is that it can always reside on your desktop, taking up very little resources, and staying out your way until you need it. Gdesktop doesn’t hover over your application windows or demand your attention unless it is giving you a reminder about an appointment. And gdeskcal is easy to install and configure. So let’s take a look at gdeskcal.
