GNOME 3 Calendar

From design through review to code, I am proud to present the new GNOME calendar panel:
Thanks to everyone involved!

  2. I really like the fact that the appointments are besides the calendar.

  3. very nice. indeed.

    can we have weekdays enabled by default? this information is needed frequently in cooperate environment. might be one of my top reasons for clicking the gnome panel's calendar applet.

  6. Great except I don't use the calendar, so the right hand side will be wasted space for me.



    I see you can customise it using GSettings. Surely, a customise button or menu would be much easier and more friendly? Why have to hack around wiht GSettings? Are you trying to recreate the atrocities of the Windows Registry???

  7. Nice work, though i dont use much of eds myself. Someone developing a google calendar plugin for this will be good.
    Is there any way to also show the weather as in the old gnome2 clock applet.

  8. Please make your margins consistent. Look at the left margin and the right - not equal width. This happens all over the design and makes it feel cobbled-together.

    Also, the huge indentation on the 'time' column is jarring and a waste of space. I know you've right-justified it - maybe the column should be shrunk.

  9. Looks pretty sweet!

    One question though... way back when there used to be a quick way to set an alarm in the calendar - say I want to be notified in 10 minutes that I need to take care of some little thing. I used it all the time as it was in the perfect place and was very low overhead - no opening a heavy app for a simple alarm. I really miss it.

    Any chance of bringing back a quick alarm function?

  10. I'm with pankaj here, a google calendar plugin would be really cool

  11. Overall, I like it! Sort of sorry to see the other time zones go...

    One nit to pick: in the mockup, "Open Calendar" is left-aligned with the days listed above it. Here, it seems to be floating in space horizontally.

  12. hi, super cool widget!
    but I'm really missing weather informations (and why not forecasting) and adding more locations, as in gnome2
    hope to see it implemented

  13. i never used evolution, uninstalled it even, now i'd love this to sync with my google calendar (google apps account) then this would be peeerfect!

  14. can you please tell me how to change the first week day from sunday to monday _WITHOUT_ evolution (only with evolution-data-server) installed?

  15. A preference panel would be nice :)
    Or some other easy, intuitive way to enable week-number, set monday to week-start, hide the big calendar-part on the right. It looks nice, but functionality is below average imo.
