Thin Calendar: desktop calendar with Google appointments

Thin Calendar has a semi-transparent, unobtrusive interface that won't get in the way of your other windows. It's great for people who frequently need to use the Google Calendar web interface.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

I can change the preferences, and I see it in the taskbar. And then that's it. It's just an application in the taskbar - no desktop appearance :/

Yeah, it's not doing anything for me either (Windows 7 Pro x64).

Running Vista 32bit here. I can see it, and I can type in my email and password in the preferences thing on the taskbar icon, but it doesn't seem to sync, even after restarting the program. But hey, it's version 0.1.0 of a free program, what do you expect?

Hi, I'm the developer.
There's a problem with the Desktop Window Manager in Windows Vista and Windows 7. I'll try to fix it for the next version.
