When I create a customized desktop, I have several tools to choose from. One of the tools that doesn’t get noticed too often is DateLine. It is a simple app that displays a linear calendar on your desktop. What’s cool about DateLine is that it allows you to change the way it is displayed on your desktop by right clicking and opening the Preferences. When you open Preferences, you see a window with 3 tabs. General which allow you to choose what calendar to open when a day is clicked. Your options are iCal or Daylite 3.
The next tab is Appearance which allow you to change Day color, Today marked color, and the DateLine line color. (That’s a tongue twister!)Then, you can change the width of the line by dragging the slider to however long or short you want it. You can also change the overall Font, Today Font, Mark Shape (diamond or square), and Window Level (Desktop, Desktop Icons, Normal Windows, or Floating Windows). Then, you can check the box to show Two Letter Day and Month Title.
And the last tab is the Updates tab where you can check the box to Install Automatically. I love how easy this app is to use and its simple functions. Best of all, the app is FREE. To download DateLine, click on the icon at the end of the article.
If you have used this app or have suggestions of cool customization tools, feel free to comment below and share the wealth with our fellow readers!
