Overview
When the main window is minimized, VueMinder
Calendar Lite will continue to run in the background to ensure
reminders for approaching events are displayed as needed. VueMinder Calendar
Lite uses minimal
system resources while running in the background. CPU
utilization will usually be 0%. Memory use will vary, but can be
as low as 5 MB.
Task Tray Icon
An icon will be displayed in the
Task Tray (or Notification Area) of the Windows taskbar. The
exact appearance will vary depending on your version of Windows.
The example screenshots below show Windows 7 with an Aero theme.
Double-clicking the icon will result in the
main window appearing. Right clicking
the icon will result in a context menu being displayed. The
commands available in the context menu are described below.
View Calendar
- This will restore the display of the
main window.
- Double-clicking the icon will do the same thing as selecting this menu option.

display the VueMinder Calendar window.
Desktop Calendar
- This toggles the display of the
Desktop Calendar, an
interactive,
semi-transparent calendar that integrates into your Windows
desktop background.
- As with the View Calendar command, a global keyboard
shortcut can be assigned in the
Program Options window.

except for the Desktop Calendar.
