Hi everyone,

The latest version of the Calendar app has now been pushed to the repository.

Changelog: Monthly/weekly events now work; changed event file format to include icon number; changed event popup panel to include icon; added more icons; weekend shaded slightly.

What this means is that you will need to manually edit your existing calendar.dat file, or delete it and the app will recreate the base events for you.

The base events now look like this:

Code:
Y;1;1;1900;12;New Year's Day
Y;2;14;1900;6;Valentine's Day
F;3;0;0;14;Easter Sunday
Y;3;17;1900;10;St. Patrick's Day
F;11;4;5;11;Thanksgiving
Y;12;25;1900;5;Christmas
The number before the description is the icon number. Default event icon is "3".

You can change the icon from within the app itself, so the easiest way to update your existing file would be to connect your reader to the computer, edit the calendar.dat file, add "3;" before the description of each event, and then disconnect the reader. When you start the calendar app, you can then click on each event, and change the icon.

This should work on non-Touch as well. It hasn't been extensively tested, so if you find something odd, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Ben.
