Blue Rock’s stuff we love Wanted to share with you a handy free app that puts a floating calendar on your desktop. And it’s been customized to work with Daylite: just double click on any of the days and you’ll be taken to that date in Daylite’s calendar. 

Please see the image below. DateLine actually shows the entire month, but for my screenshot I only highlighted a small portion. I placed mine down near my Dock, but it can go anywhere. Also notice the orange diamond giving a fast visual indicator of Today.

  • download DateLine
  • to enable Daylite support, go to DateLine’s Preferences and set the ”Open in” pulldown to “Daylite 3″
  • in order to work properly with Daylite, you must be logged into your Daylite database
  • in DateLine preferences you can also set the font, color, width, and more
