I was wondering if it were possible for me to set iCal as my desktop background. I always want to be able to see it. Till now I've been leaving the window maximized but when other apps open on top of it, some get stuck behind iCal and are hidden from my view. Thanks for any ideas.

Looking forward.

I use WebDesktop (or WebDesk) to display a web page that I've set up using PHP iCalendar . While I wish that both apps were more configurable, it works very well. I've also set up a RSS aggregator so that I have headlines from BBC World News on my desktop.

yeah Konfab's got several widgets that'll do the trick. It just eats up too much system resources for me to use.

Wow! Thanks! I love iCalViewer. With "Show On Desktop" it overlays my calendar right on my wallpaper. That's so ideal! Thanks again.

Cool. Seems a pretty cool idea, although I don't really like the way it represents the information. I'd just prefer a daily or weekly calendar rendered as a desktop background. But it does the trick, nonetheless!
Glad I could help.
Cheers
Scott
