I looked at the changes and tried it out, yesterday. Some thoughts: 1. The reminder message part is clearly too specific, but I see your need for some kind of "Message of the Day", this could be implemented as a new field in the config table, and the text placed somewhere flexibly. 2. The clickable calendar widget is cool and quick to navigate. Much better than the simple Next/Previous concept that we currently have. 3. This would be a useful addition to daily & weekly timesheets too. 4. Yes, its location is not good. Screen design is not my priority at the moment (1.5 or 2.0 rewrite), but you might have different priorities. Suggestions: a. Keep it where it is and see if any users don't like the waste of space (or use the space for your MOTD). b. As you said, put it up next to the logo, but don't forget this header stuff is configurable. c. Replace the Next/Previous links with this. I would tend to go for c. because then you fit it into the existing design, improving the date navigation, and could extend it onto weekly/daily timesheets.

Considering the calendar is active and allows people to just click on some day of the week to jump to that week's entries, and has month back and month forward buttons, I personally think it's a very handy item to have. My only / biggest question is where to put that calendar. It's currently taking up about 2 inches vertically on my screen (obviously, that will be different depending on screen resolution and size) between the menu bar and the actual timesheet right now. We make use of the space to the right of the calendar to put a reminder message about when people need to get their time reported. So, one option I’ve thought of is to place that within the icon/banner bar on the left? I like giving people options. If it’s easy enough to make optional, make it optional. I’m sure someone, somewhere will hate it… -Scott _________________________________________________________________ Show them the way!
