Some users are experiencing stability issues with MagiCal under Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) when attempting to access the preferences. We are working on a solution to this problem, and a fix will be released as soon as possible. In the meantime, Leopard users may wish to revert to the 1.1 alpha release, available in the "Related Downloads" section.
DESCRIPTION
MagiCal is a menu-based clock and calendar. It features a huge range of configuration options for how the time and date are displayed, and can operate either in addition to, or instead of, the built in system menu clock.
In addition to this, MagiCal features a handy drop-down calendar that can be torn off and placed anywhere on screen.
ERIC WOEHLER Discovered a delightful feature that is undocumented - open the preferences for date and edit the selection - so you can include/exclude items as you wish - so eg, my date shows as Tue 01 Apr, without the year and the day name shortened from Tuesday. Edit works in real time so you can see how the edit will look in yr menu bar. I have no reason to believe the time format can be edited similarly to suit yr personal wishes. (Version 1.1r1)
RUFFNRUGGD Thank you for finding a fix for this! I had missed MagiCal so much and hated not being able to get to Preferences, but now it works like a charm and I have my clock back! THANKS! (Version 1.1r1)
DOUGWARD Did exactly what I wanted to. My only issue is that when I have it just displaying the time, with the sub-pixel anti-aliasing turned off, it's very particular about where I click on it. I have to be careful to click the numbers of the time exactly or the menu doesn't show. Not a big thing, really. (Version 1.1)
