Rainlander Review


Rainlander, is a desktop calendar/events/todo program that resembles the widgets on Mac screens. It has a sister program called Rainmeter. I have installed both and then unitstalled Rainmeter.

Rainlander will stay on our desktop for now. It’s a calendar with a mouse over pop-up for dates where you have added events. Rest the mouse pointer on the date and a balloon pops up with the body of the saved event.
There is a separate box wherein are listed the events for the number of days you have configured the box to display. There is also a Todo box with checkable items that can be edited invidually, crossed out or removed. Display of both the events and the Todo boxs are optional.

The calendar can be linked to Outlook and other programs such as iCalendar. It’s useful unobstructive and so far has not crashed windows. This is a good thing.
