Description Akseli Lahtinen 2023-09-02 16:42:51 UTC 
SUMMARY

Digital clock widget, when clicked, shows also calendar and events if those are enabled in settings.
The calendar widget does not show events, nor list of events. Would be nice to have them in calendar widget too
so I could have a list of tasks and events on my desktop :)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add calendar widget to desktop
2. Open settings for the widget

OBSERVED RESULT
No PIM plugin or other calendar events :(

EXPECTED RESULT
Same events would be visible in calendar widget as with digital clock widget :)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
Kernel Version: 6.4.12-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Would be nice if there was a way to select either calendar or event list if the widget is small enough!
I would personally just like to have a list of future events and tasks on my desktop, and when clicking on an event it would open the same event in Merkuro. :)

Agreed! Events are a really missed feature in the calendar widget.

I've also noticed that the analogue clock also cannot display PIM events. So overall it feels there should be a consistent behaviour between the two main clock widgets and the main calendar widget.
