Previous Month - This will take the calendar back a month. You can right click on it to bring up a drop down list of all the months in the year.

Next Month - This moves the calendar on a month. Again you can right click on this to get a drop down list.

Title Bar - If you hold down your left mouse button over this you can manually drag the calendar around the screen. Also if you double click it the calendar will go into Compact Mode. You can customize the date format and colour of this in the settings. Right click, and you'll be presented with the option to skip to future and past years.

Day Header - This shows you which day corresponds to which date. You can right click on any of these and select it to be the start day of the week.

  • Clear - Clears any events from the day.
  • Edit - Opens up the edit box.
  • Settings - Opens up the settings window.
  • Exit -  Closes the calendar.

Current Day - This is almost identical to a normal Day Cell, you can right click on it etc. The only difference is it's marked with a different colour so you know that it's the current day.

Balloon Tooltip - This allows you to read a full entry without having to open the edit box. To make the balloon tooltips appear, you have to hold down your left mouse button down over a day cell for approximately a second. You can also choose standard tooltips if you prefer, this can be achieved in the Settings window.
