Calendarclock - Another menubar date/time solution
Authored by: Han Solo on Aug 02, '04 04:05:22PM
Err, back to a 9... or an 8: you cannot toggle between "To Do", iCal Events and no iCal drop-down in the calendar view â€" only between 2 of the 3.

Also, the "Mini Calendar" is OK, but better (IMHO) would be the ability to briefly toggle to today's date rather than drop down the calendar, or to show today's date below the menu bar while one mouses over the time â€" as PTHClock used to do.

Yes you can... hold the Option key, and then click on the To Do/Event button. Now it will toggle on and off. Once open, just Option/Click to toggle between To do and Event

<sarcasm>Well, that was intuitive!</sarcasm> Fair enough, 'though: the option key does work as you say, and I appreciate that insight.

Nonetheless, I'd still prefer to be able to rotate through three views simply by clicking: (1) no iCal view, (2) iCal events (3) iCal "To Do". And I'd still like to see an easy way to view the day and date.

I still would give it an 8 or 9, which is still quite good in my book.

Try this little gem called MenuCalendar. It is more like PTHClock IMHO (before they sold out to the big, bad corporate weenies). I'm still using version 1.8 and it is the best I've seen.

Both of these apps (Calenderclock and MenuCalendar) are nice - but does anyone know of an easy way to get two times in the menu bar (one local one other time zone) - I used to use PTHclock for this but it is alas no longer donationware and it also has a tendency to dissapear periodically from my menu bar (conflict with Butler?).

I've used MenuCalender in the past, seems like they have improved the app a lot! The interface of MenuCalender is much better than CalenderClock imho. However: it add's yet another icon to my menubar, the power of CC was that it doesn't do that. And also, MC is not entirely free - it seems CC has options I pay for in MC.

Re: MenuCalendar. I was using MC up until I tried out Calendarclock... although the first release was missing some of the things I liked about MC, the current release has everything I need.

First I used CalendarDock. Then I was a PTHClock user, which I loved. What I like about Calendarclock is it's also the menubar clock, so it takes up less space on my menubar - which is already pretty crowded!

But choice is a good thing! I think this is the first time in a long while that there has been so many fine utilities available for OS X!

I say let's give all the developers a big hand (and a contribution)!

:)

I have to admit I discovered it by accident! I was also wondering how to hide the list pane... When in situations like this I always try modifier keys!

I agree a separate button would be nicer.
