Description Patrick Smits 2003-11-04 12:15:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Of course it's possible to open up Korganizer or Kontakt to make an appointment. However, if someone contacts me to make an appointment, normally I don't have Korganizer open, so I use the calendar from the clock applet in Kicker to see what day the appointment is on. It would be really handy if I could see in this applet whether I already have an appointment that day (the day would be shown in bold) and if not, to just right click that date and choose "Make appointment" from the menu that opens up.

Other menu items could be:
- New task
- New event
- New meeting

- Show ToDo

- Alarm         --|
- Show alarm    --| these two could be context sensitive depending or whether an alarm is scheduled.

I vote for this bug !

Because all peoples how have see my Linux (KDE) have been impressed to friendly see this calendar on clock click and then, have asked me if I can access to appointments... Answer is "no" :-(

Users want this feature, and even if it isn't a kclockapplet goal we MUST implement this !!!
This way is ergonomic (as noticed : no need of openned Kontact window) and intuitive (we have a calendar in the clock... and then ? That's all : it's "just" a calendar :-/ ).

In hope this feature will be present in future versions of KDE...
Is it in project ?

I have just read that Gnome has implemented this:

This link don't seem to work.

Is the calendar show colored days (or another visual repear) for days with events ?
Would be cool too. Euh !! : Would be requiered at all (I don't see me to click all days to see if thay have events or not).

Okay the link went dead. I grabbed it from the Slashdot story: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/08/1316254&mode=thread.  I appears there is a mirror at http://www.clai.net/sayamindu/GNOME-2.6/GNOME_2_6.html.

The picture I was referring to is Figure 15
"Fig 15. The netstatus applet and the clock". The idea is similar, although implemented somewhat different. Don't know what's 'better' thought.
