	http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~grichman/desktopcalendar.html


Requirements
-------------

	Runs on Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT with MS Internet 
	Explorer 4 and 5 with "Active Desktop" enabled. JavaScript has to 
	be enabled too.


Installation
-------------

	- Extract ALL FILES to a NEW EMPTY DIRECTORY, e.g. c:\temp\DeskCal
	- Run SWSETUP.EXE
	  This will copy and customize the calendar-files.

	- Go to the display-properties. (right-click on the desktop -> properties)
	- Select "Desktop Calendar" from the list as background.

Custom Colors & Background Images?
-------------

	To change background images, colors and fonts, check your Start Menu for 
	"Edit Style User 1" and "Edit Style User 2".

	The pictures should have the same size as your Windows resolution. 
	The images that come with Desktop Calendar are mostly 1024x768. To 
	make them fit to your Desktop, resize them with any graphics- 
	software. Sorry, but there's no way to automatically stretch the 
	images to the Desktop.

Settings
-------------

	Click the ?-button stronger (longer) to have the settings-menu opened.

Styles
-------------

	Here are some styles for the basic settings. You can copy & paste them to 
	the section "Basic Settings".
	
	".Large" is the large month and year. You can change the colors for a single 
	of them using:
	#MonthLarge and #YearLarge
	
	e.g:
	.Month7 #MonthLarge {color: #FFF}
	
	To make any style month-specific, precede the lines with .Month1 (for 
	January) and/or #Year1999 (for the Year 1999) and put them into the section 
	"Month Specific". Examples:

	.Month8#Year2001 .Large {color: #FFF}  /* August 2001: white */
	.Month9 .Large {color: #F00 }          /* every September: red */
	#Year1999 .Large {color: #0FF }        /* 1999: cyan */
	
	Some standard-colors:

	Blue headers
	.Large {color: #00A}
	.WeekdayTitle {color: #228}

	Blue headers 2
	#MonthLarge {color: #CCF}
