hi all !
some news about mycalendar...
soon a new version will be available.
you'll have to replace skins as i change it totally. (i changed the xml format)
fit all screen sizes]
it will now fit any screen size. not sure that the result will be beautifull... maybe you'll have to try (i'm using pal size, so for any other size, result can be lightly different. for the skin, all size are given in pal format, then the script itself change the values to make it proportional to your screen. if you decide to make your own skin, do not forget to make the positions values thinking about pal format [720*540])
plugin feature :
it will enable you to launch some plugins that any of you can code (getting meteo of the day, getting informations... anything you may code in python and set in the plugin directory.) [ in fact, it will be like a script runner
],
user will select its default plugins he wants to use. plugins will be available from the main screen.
rss titles reader :
a scrolling area showing a rss feed. you can select rss feeds from the settings section.
some fixes :
skinning capabilities were not full. it should be close to be perfect now
more compatibility :
not sure it will be in the next release, but i'm learning and testing some issues to export/import icalendar file formats (ics files). those files are compliant with microsoft outlook, mozilla calendar, sunbird, hotmail calendar, maybe yahoo calendar... a lot of work to do maybe, but sure it is the biggest feature ! i hope this could be done soon
keep in touch
