Sorry for repeating the post, but I can't find the way to edit my reply to Flec65, thus I have to repost in order to correct the period of no updates from 12 to 18 months:

Developer is showing complete disrespect to loyal customers who paid for the application a lot of money (original version and then the upgrades) - no update for past 18 months, while OSX has been updated several times during that period and now upgraded to Lion. The developer's website shows that company is still in business selling 18 months old version and not bothering to honor the obligations to existing customers. Shame!!!

I'd wish for an update... almost 18 months without any news from the developer. Meanwhile, I'm eyeing Fantastical, which does get great reviews on the AppStore and features a natural language engine that smartly creates events for you. And the app looks more like 2011 overall too, which sadly cannot be said about MCC.

I'm running MenuCalendarClock's version 4.1.2 on OS X 10.6.7, with Spaces enabled (I chose to have the app displayed on every space).

MenuCalendarClock sits in your menubar as a small calendar icon (you can choose between 3 icon alternatives), and optionally also replaces the system clock (you can customize the clock's time format, font and color). There's a dock icon as well, which you can opt to hide, but the developer doesn't recommend it.

Upon clicking the menubar icon (or alternatively, you can set a hotkey), a small calendar pops up beneath the menubar, displaying the current month. The display preferences allow you various adjustments (like weeks starting on Mondays, tooltips, etc... There's an option to show Sundays in red, but I haven't found such option for Saturdays).

If you click on a day once, a Schedule slides from the bottom of the calendar, displaying said day's events. You can click the options' cogwheel (bottom right beneath the calendar) to add an event or a to-do item to the selected day.

Double-clicking a day opens iCal in month view but you can check an option to open iCal in day view.

Arrows at the bottom left of the calendar allow you to go backwards/forward between months, or go to the present day. Bottom right, there's an options "cogwheel" (mentioned above), to-do items button and close button.

MenuCalendarClock syncs with iCal. You can select which iCal calendars to sync with. There's an option to add a Birthdays calendar (you need to create an extra iCal calendar).

All in all, I like the app's compact look, and iCal syncing went fine for me.

I do have to note, though, that the transaction did not go smoothly for me. Despite completing payment, the e-commerce platform I'd been transferred to to make the purchase (I think it was one of Digital River's) presented an error instead of supplying me with a license code. I emailed the developer (Objectpark) using the email address supplied by the e-commerce service -- support AT objectpark DOT net -- but the email bounced ("Recipient address rejected"). So I went to Objectpark's website, found there a different email address for support, and emailed the developer again, this time to the new address. That email was likely delivered (at least, I didn't get a "delivery failed" notification), but the developer hasn't responded. So, I emailed the e-commerce platform's customers service, and after about 2 or 3 emails, they finally emailed me the license code. If you purchase the software, I hope the transaction goes smoother for you.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT and while I've had wonderful products purchased from this site the company Ergonis, software Pagico, and wrote how delighted I was with FolderBrander.

I still strongly believe MacUpdate is partially responsible. When you continue to sell their product and yet I may not upgrade yet should and they are clueless as to who I am? Something is terribly wrong. While I understand there was a terrible flood, this was way before then. If you go to their site they are offtering the product for $15.95 so why are you selling it for $19.95?

I LOVE your company and think you do a great service to everyone. Perhaps I'll just bite the dust because of all the wonderful apps and the people behind them I believe in. But when you start getting compaints, I feel you should act upon them "if" they are repetitive."

ALL I can say is this won't stop me from believing and appreciating in programmers. To me YOU OUT THERE, rock, you make my day and I apologize that I have to write this, truly and others must know.

I don't think having to make people place star rating simply to be honest is right either. They don't deserve any stars.

I've posted way too many comments/reviews on this, so this is the last conclusive one - Bottom line, it doesn't do what its supposed to do so its pointless paying for this software. Anyone developer selling their software should at least make sure it works.

I'm talking about the inability of the software to detail which calendar events are to be posted to, alarm times being posted differently to what has been entered...I could go on. If I'm being kind, it may be because of the difficulties the developers have had in trying to make the software work on present versions of OS X. But these are all things that need to work properly for people that are prepared to shell out for this software. Not that we'd know for sure why these problems occur, as the developers just don't respond to enquiries. Hence, the impression is given that the developers have thrown their hands in the air and given up on this software, while at the same time, allowing themselves to be enriched by gullible customers (yes, like me).

I've now come to the conclusion that if you don't need exchange and want to improve ical with reliable software that works, you're going to have to pay properly for it in the form of Busycal. It isn't cheap, but is still better than throwing $20 down the toilet which is effectively what you're doing by purchasing this product.

Previous version MenuCalendarClock for iCal 4.0.0 available here:

There is a workaround to removing the Dock icon:

1. Open your Applications folder and right-click the MenuCalendarClock iCal.app icon. From the context menu, choose "Show Package Contents".

2. Navigate to Contents > Info.plist

3. Open Info.plist in a text editor. Warning: do not open it in Microsoft Word or any other document writing program. It will corrupt the file.

4. Add these two lines before the final tag:

LSUIElement
1

5. Save Info.plist and close it. Restart MenuCalendarClock iCal.app and voíla! The Dock icon is gone.

Be careful ! Developper cannot CARE LESS about his clients. No replies to emails. New PAY version can be totally unuseful for some legacy users and no way to get a REFUND. Sorry, ObjectPark, you are not a serious company. Your software use to be 5stars... NOT ANYMORE.

When I upgraded to Leopard, of course the version of MCC I was using was no longer supported. I've been trying to download the latest version, but it always tells me MCC is in use (I get the same message when I try to delete it from my Applications folder). How in the world do I "quit" my old version of MCC, especially since it no longer appears in my menu bar? I've even tried different killall commands on Terminal. Thanks...

Not showing up in menubar on my iBook G4.
