Thin Calendar: desktop calendar with Google appointments
You may have caught my post about Dateline, a cool, minimal calendar that sits right on your desktop. Dateline's great, but it's Mac-only. Windows users don't have to feel left out anymore, though. Thin Calendar is a Dateline-inspired Windows app that does much the same thing, but gives you access to your Google Calendar appointments instead of the Mac-only iCal.
Thin Calendar has a semi-transparent, unobtrusive interface that won't get in the way of your other windows. It's great for people who frequently need to use the Google Calendar web interface. When you can't find a desktop client you like, sometimes it's better to have a quick, attractive-looking way to get to the website. You can't change the look of Thin Calendar the way you can with Dateline, but it looks nice enough that you won't mind seeing it on your desktop.

That's weird - it isn't opening for me. I'd really like to use it, though...

It's Greek to me.

Or rather, it's opening, but I can't see it (using Win7)

Runs, but does nothing..?

I can change the preferences, and I see it in the taskbar. And then that's it. It's just an application in the taskbar - no desktop appearance :/

Yeah, it's not doing anything for me either (Windows 7 Pro x64).

Running Vista 32bit here. I can see it, and I can type in my email and password in the preferences thing on the taskbar icon, but it doesn't seem to sync, even after restarting the program. But hey, it's version 0.1.0 of a free program, what do you expect?

Hi, I'm the developer.
There's a problem with the Desktop Window Manager in Windows Vista and Windows 7. I'll try to fix it for the next version.
