The options window.

Work Day Options

Work day options

  • Each day of the week can have its own work schedule specified independently of other days.
  • The work day options will affect the display of the Day and Week Views, which shade working hours differently than non-working hours. It will also affect the Daily and Weekly print styles.
  • The Week View can be set to display only work days, which are defined in this window.
  • If a day is usually a work day, check the Work Day box. This will allow the work starting and ending times to be specified.
  • The start and end times are the times that you normally start and end working on the associated day.
  • You can type in any start/end time or select one from a drop-down list.

Show Event Descriptions in Tooltips

You can control whether tooltips include event descriptions.

  • When this option is enabled, event tooltips displayed in the Calendar View and Desktop Calendar will include event descriptions, if present.

  • If your events contain long descriptions, or if you dislike large tooltips, turning this option off will suppress event descriptions in the tooltips.

  • The following is an example of a tooltip when this option is enabled:

Show Week Numbers

Week numbers, using either Simple Week Numbering or ISO 8601, can be displayed.

  • When enabled, this option will result in week numbers (1-53) being displayed in the week header area of the Month View, Date Navigation Pane, and Desktop Calendar.
  • Two standards for week numbering are supported, Simple Week Numbering and ISO 8601.
    • Simple week numbering will cause the week containing the first day of the year to always be numbered as 1. This is the standard used in the United States.
    • ISO 8601 week numbering will cause the week containing the first Thursday of the year to be numbered as 1. This is the standard used in Europe.
  • Here's an example of how the Month View looks when week numbers are enabled:

  • When the showing of week numbers has been disabled, the Month View will appear as below:

First Day of the Week

The first day of the week option.

  • The first day of the week will default to match your regional settings defined in Windows.
  • For example, in the USA, the first day of the week is Sunday, while in the UK, it's Monday.
  • If you prefer a different first day of the week, you can select it from the drop-down list.
  • This will affect the left-most day that is displayed in the the Month Navigation Pane, Month View, Week View, and Desktop Calendar.
  • It will also affect the Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly print styles.

Reminder Date/Time Format

  • By default, the date and time format that is shown in the Popup Reminder Window will use a long and descriptive format, based on your Windows regional settings.
  • For example, in the United States, this will result in date/time strings having a format like "Sunday, November 23, 2008 6:20 PM", while in the United Kingdom it would be "23 November 2008 18:20".
  • If you prefer a shorter date/time be displayed, or if you prefer a format (and language) that matches what is used in the United States, you can select a different option from the drop-down list.
  • Example formats based on the current date and time will be displayed for you to select from.
  • Here's an example of the available date time formats when running in Brazil:

First Visible Time Slot

The first time slot option.

  • This option allows you to select the first time slot that will be visible in the the Day and Week Views. For example, if you usually don't have any events start until after 7:00 AM, you could select 7:00 AM as the first time slot, to reduce the amount of scrolling required in the Day and Week views.
  • Time slots before the specified time will still be accessible, but you'll need to scroll up to them.
