I need help in creating my own calendar.
How can I make the date series instead of being in one single line split into 4 lines so as to be starting from Sunday (or Monday) and run across until Saturday (or any other last date) in the week. Just like the layout of a normal calendar, in a week pattern.
And how can I superimpose an image in the background on the current date so that it will move along and only highlight today's date..
if this isn't possible, I would like to request the developer to look into this feature for the next update.

I know there are loads of apps that can create birthday entries in Calendar from your contacts, but is there any software that can create these entries from another application? The reason being that I don't want to create contacts for me son and daughter (3 and 8) and all my little nieces and nephews. I'm looking for an app where you could just input name and date (and maybe birth year) and it then integrates it into the standard calendar? Does such a thing exist?
Hi,
I'm running CM6.1.1 with the standard apps.
WRT the calendar a couple of niggles I've noticed over time are that if I create an all day event:
i) the widget notifies me the week/day before but not on the actual day;
ii) on the calendar view they come up as bold dates for all but the current day but are still not very visible. The current day is also highlighted in Grey so invisible.
I missed making a birthday call on the day itself recently as I didn't get notified correctly :-(
Is there a setting I've missed or a modified calendar or theme that can I can get to highlight and notify "all day" events better ?
Thanks,
When creating a new appointment on my desire when selecting the date with the scroll date picker i cannot see the day of the week. A colleague has the same phone and he has the weekdays shown on the date scroll picker.
i'm using the standard agenda on the desire.
Please be advised this application is under constant development.
Compact Calendar was developed to solve the need of compact UI experience that I was missing using the regular WP7 calendar. Also in the time when I started this project, there was no possibility to import additional internet calendars. And also I wanted to gain experience in WP7 development.
Few words about the app:
Events are being read from built in calendar (so please do not define them again in compactCal), after that you can import any ical you want. They can be downloaded by configurable time span from 15 minutes up to a year.
When the list is scrolled to the bottom of list, calendar will be feeded with events from configurable time frame, again time frame is from 15 minutes up a year. You can also switch on/off loading of past events (time frame is also configurable).
You can choose from two kind of view: compact and even more compact view. Duration of each event can be displayed in four ways: classic (09:00[am] - 11:00[am]) or advance (10:00[am]-02:00).
To quickly find the closest event simply touch the first event text at top of a page.
To display more details about the event double tap event you are interest in (first display is a bit slow), if you have an address there and the bing can find it, it will be displayed. To see next or previous one use the finger to swipe to the right (next) or left(prev)
Of course there are a lots of place for fixing the app and I'm still working on it, but I wanted to share the current beta with you and maybe gain some reviews about the general idea, get reports about new bugs that you found, or maybe some requirements that are not on my list.
Missing, todos:
- bug fix
- better/nicer icons
- performance test and fix
- creating reminders
- creation of new entries, currently compactCal is just a readonly application
- tiles, live tiles
- How to modify the screen lock to display the information from calendar
- more
Issues can be found on bitbucket.org, add this suffix (since I cannot add external urls) /jstadnicki/compactcal/issues
Application runs on my LG-E900 and emulator. Was not tested on any other device. This is my first WP7 application so please treat gently.
Hope you guys will like it.

Wow. looks great. Is it possible to color events based on categories from Outlook Exchange? I know, i couldnt enter them in the WP7 calender, but the field is available. Maybe you can use it or WP7 will use it somedays with a update, what is hope so much.

Unfortunately no - there is no such api that can give me this kind of information.
Trying to figure out the best way to do this. I can't see to get a BR (line break) in zooper.
What I want is a calendar widget that shows something like this;
Agenda
Scheduled Event 1
Scheduled Event 2
Scheduled Event 3
Scheduled Event 4
Scheduled Event 5
Todo List
All Day Event 1
All Day Event 2
All Day Event 3
All Day Event 4
All Day Event 5
For my Scheduled Event items I was going to use something like this (calendar items with times);
$#C0D#=0?#C0SEEE# #C0Skkmm# #C0TITLE#
$#C1D#=0?#C1SEEE# #C1Skkmm#C1TITLE#
$#C2D#=0?#C2SEEE# #C2Skkmm#C2TITLE#
$#C3D#=0?#C3SEEE# #C3Skkmm#C2TITLE#
$#C4D#=0?#C4SEEE# #C4Skkmm#C4TITLE#
For my All Day Event items I was going to use something like this (so I only get todo items, no dates/times);
$#C0D#=1?#C0TITLE#
$#C1D#=1?#C1TITLE#
$#C2D#=1?#C2TITLE#
$#C3D#=1?#C2TITLE#
$#C4D#=1?#C4TITLE#
But I don't want blank lines to be present. I basically use my google calendar as a todo list too. Any items set as all day are my todo items.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you use a Rich Text Module, you can just use the enter key as a line break. It will render the same way in the widget as in the editor.

I need a way to do a break programmatically to avoid blank lines in each section.

Put the enter inside of the conditional and not between the conditionals. It will look weird in the editor window but you see it still works in the preview window below.
