My clients, on the other hand, insist on sending me those annoying meeting request things that end up filed away in iCal and I end up missing them because I cannot bring myself to launch iCal all the time just to check something silly, like an important meeting or a pay day. I only one could have the iCal events blend into the desktop towards the unused edges and leave me alone. Oh, wait, you can. After arriving late for my nth meeting last week, I realised I needed this kind of function more than I would care to admit. I downloaded each of the available solutions and tried them all out. Most lasted no more than 30 minutes on my machine. This lasted and I was not about to wait for the 14 day trial to expire - bought instantly. It does what it is supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. I have no idea how I lived without it. Oh wait, I do - I missed meetings and birthdays and my anniversary. Sorry dear...

I love this software so I do hope they manage to fix the problem, but DO NOT load it at this point.
BIG MISTAKE. My MacBook, running the latest version of Leopard, started acting like a WIndoze machine inflicted with an overload of spyware. I had to restart in safe mode to uninstall the software. Wondering whether the file had become corrupted, I removed iDeskCal and downloaded anew. No fluke, my MacBook is unusable with this software installed.
The company has not responded to my request for assistance. Even if your computer handles this software OK, you should think twice about people who do not respond to their paid-up customers.

This app was brought to my attention and completely changed the way my desktop looks!
Before it was MANY moving blocks of daily events. then to add a new event I had to evoke flexcal.
Now there is a MUCH more mac-like list of my events.
Built into this app is the ability to add events. there by removing the need for flexcal.
In less than a week of trying out this app I have decided that it is a must have for the busy professional .
In just a quick glance..... I can see what I need to be doing as add new events in a flash.
Worth the money!

How can I turn language to english?? I understand it better in English than this "Spanish". And I am Spanish!!!
The Spanish translation is in Mexico dialect, so it won't be exact for say Spain Spanish.
If you are interested in helping fix the translations for a free version (or a refund if you have already purchased) please email us at: support at hashbangind.com

Would recommend the app - at least try it and see if you like it. I have been looking for a simple to do/reminder/tasks list for a LONG time, tried most of them, but this app is elegant and did it for me.

For others switching to the Dashboard can be seen as a chore.
The Dashboard is incredibly slow for a lot of people, and also requires you to actively think about checking your calendar.
iDeskCal works great for never having to think about checking what is on your calendar.
In multi-monitor setups it can be placed in a location that is usually not covered by applications.
In single screen setups it works great, as any time you close or minimize all your programs (to get to your desktop for example), there is your calendar. Without thinking about it you have seen what is on your calendar and you are less likely to forget about that days meeting.
Not having to think about checking your calendar is probably one of the biggest advantages of using iDeskCal.

Otherwise updating the latest comments posted here: CPU issue has been fixed since 2.3.
My only feedback: it would be better not to have any icon on the Dock or Menu, accessing the Preferences by double-clicking the app itself (in the Application folder).
