"To Do" Lists
ToDo list is used to list things you want to do that do not require an exact time. To add something to your ToDo list, click ToDo on menu on left side of program, or right click in the "ToDo" area on your Desklet to add. See Screenshot.

You can view your Todo list quickly by clicking Todo from left menu in program, or by viewing in your Desklet.

For example, a ToDo list may look like this:
-Get taxes done by April 16th
-Call and set up a Dr. Appt this week
-Pick up gift for Mom

Its used for listing things that do not have a definite time line! Great for all those little things you plan to do and forget about!

ToDo list offers some very special features too! If you add something to your ToDo list, you can put more information and personal notes about a specific task by typing in the text in the space provided.  Click here for Screenshot.

Once you have finished a task on your ToDo list, you can either delete it, or move it to the bottom of the list. You can put % of task completed even!
 

Weather
CalendarPal shows your local current conditions as well as general 10-day forecast right on the calendar so you can tell what your local weather will be for the next 10-days. When you first install CalendarPal, you will be asked to set your location. If you want to change locations later, click Weather in the menu at the top of CalendarPal and choose "Set Location".

Selecting Your Local Area if in the USA - Type in your Zip Code or the name of your City and press the search button - when your city appears in the dialog, select it. DO NOT type in your state; just the City or Zipcode!

If you're located outside of the U.S.A. just type in your city name and press the search button. DO NOT type in your Country or State!  In case multiple cities share the same name, simply select yours from the list. If you use Metric system of measurement, be sure you change this setting (see below).

Weather information is available in U.S. measurements or Metric. It's your choice. Just choose which you want from "Tools/Options/Weather" on the CalendarPal Toolbar. If you want forecasts and other weather information in metric measurement, just tick the box next to "Use Metric System" ( see screen shot).

The current conditions for your area are always shown on the left edge of the calendar near the bottom. (See picture)

Daily Notes
Double-click any day/date you want to add a note to and type your note(s).  Or you can type them directly in your Desklet!

If you have a long list of notes and type them in, the first few lines will be visible in the calendar date block you selected as this is limited by viewable space, BUT all of your notes will be visible by clicking the date block or viewing from your Desklet. All the information you typed in will be visible near the bottom of your calendar next to the detailed weather for that day as well. Click here to see a picture.

Hint: You can remove all old notes from you calendar quickly and easily. Simply click "Notes" on the CalendarPal toolbar and choose "Delete Old Notes". All notes prior to the current day will be automatically removed.
