Re: [Opentracker-develop]Nightly build tarball not up-to-date

[Benjamin T. <ben...@bu...>]

Thanks for the updated tarball!
I've just compiled the new OpenTracker and tested the calendar view.
The calendar applets in my Fedora Core installation is something I=20
really like and I wanted to see what you implemented for OpenTracker.

Here is my feedback:

- First, it looks good to me and I think its a useful addition to the=20
Deskbar!

- It took me some time to figure how to display it (In fact, I had to=20
look at TimeView.cpp to understand LMB must be kept pressed a few=20
seconds). On Fedora, the calendar appears at first LMB click. It's more=20
"intrusive" but it's easy to figure how it works.

- Months, year and days of the week appear a bit to light on my display=20
compared to the background.

- Here, in France, weeks start on monday. Do you think it's worth to add=20
a new deskbar setting (after "European date") or will this be handled=20
automagically by the locale kit one day? ;-)

- Finally something specific to my settings: I cannot distinguish the=20
current day from the other days. Indeed, my plain font is quite small=20
(swis721 BT Roman 10) and therefore its bold face is not different from=20
the Roman face. May be you could also alter the background color of the=20
current day (kind of inverse video... not sure if this is feasible=20
easily) or you could simply use be_bold_font to draw it?

Great work.
It's nice to see some new features added to OpenTracker.
