Floating desktop calendar

Although I usually only post usability tips within applications, if I find a particular application I think is interesting, I'll post about the actual program.

DesktopCalendar, freeware by Takashi T. Hamada, is just such a program. It doesn't do all that much, but what it does, it does very well. It simply places a fully configurable floating calendar anywhere on your desktop that you want it. You control the font sizes and colors, placement of the month, year, and calendar, and the degree of transparency.

Although you can use the included Clock application, DesktopCalendar seems much more elegant in its functionality. And since I keep a clean desktop in X, there's plenty of room for it (I have it just below the menu bar, at screen top right).

Worth a look-see if you're interested in having a calendar floating about on your desktop!
