QuickMonth Calendar - hover over the system tray to see it

Posted by ClifNotes, Apr 2008, permalink Desktop Tools

Have you ever wanted to view more than just the current date quickly? I usually double click the date in the system tray to see the calendar that Windows uses to set the date and time. I always worry I'll accidentally set the date or time wrong when I'm doing that.

The QuickMonth Calendar allows you to quickly view a calendar. As soon as you hover your mouse cursor over the date in the system tray, it will pop up a nice little calendar for you.

I have a special place in my heart for small, stand-alone programs that do only simple and useful jobs. The QuickMonth Calendar definitely qualifies for this category because it's only about 200kb and it is very simple to use.

To install it, you can download a zipped copy of this program, then unpack it wherever you want it to reside. Place a shortcut to it in the Windows Startup folder if you'd like it to run every time Windows starts up. It won't place any entries in the Windows registry and you don't have to worry about uninstalling it if you don't like it. You only have to delete the program folder to make it go bye-bye.

Quote from the website
Here are a few of QuickMonth Calendar's features:
• To quickly jump to today's date, right-click on the calendar or left-click the bottom of the calendar where it says "Today."
• Use the buttons at the top of the calendar to change the month. You can also left-click on the name of the month to see a popup menu of all the months (see example 1).
• Left-click on the year to quickly change the year (see example 2).
• The calendar automatically detects the location of your Windows taskbar, so if you move the taskbar to the top, left, or right side of the screen, the calendar will still display next to your system tray clock (you may have to restart Windows once for the change to take effect).
• The look of the calendar changes according to what your system colors are (as determined by your current Windows theme or visual style).
