I'm so behind on everything.

I'm looking for a good desktop calendar, since suddenly I have stuff to keep track of, and as I'm not sitting at a physical desk when I use my computer at home, a wall calendar or something isn't practical. So, I'm looking for downloadable calendar software that will sit on my desktop and will let me add notes, vacations, events, and so on that will be visible at a glance. Preferably something that will sit on my desktop itself and not in a separate window. Bonus points for color customization, the ability to give me pop-up notifications of things that I tell it to notify me of, classy sleek fading-in-and-out look, and not costing money.

Can anybody recommend something like this? A quick Google search turns up tons, but... you know.

Bed time!

There's MonoCalendar which looks relatively decent. And Mozilla (of Firefox fame) has a Calendar project.

Both of them should be free, and in terms of prettiness, Mozilla is probably on top. I'm pretty sure that both of them involve separate windows, though.

In terms of desktop-floating type calendars, the only one that I'm familiar with is Desktop iCalendar Lite - and I'm not sure if you can actually add events from the desktop, or if it only works by syncing with an external calendar app, like Mozilla Sunbird.

Cool, thank you for the recs! I'll take a look at all of them - if Desktop iCalendar can sync to, say, Google Calendar, that might be the winner.
