Google Calendar Widget

The Google Calendar widget shows your upcoming events right on your dashboard. Connect your Google account and see your schedule in a day, week, or month view - no need to open Google Calendar in a separate tab.

#How to Use

#Connecting Your Account

1. Click the Connect Google Calendar button on the widget.
2. Sign in to your Google account and allow access.
3. Once connected, a list of your calendars appears - pick the one you want to display.

#Viewing Your Events

After choosing a calendar, your events appear in the selected view. Each event shows:

• Title - the event name
• Time - when the event starts and ends (if "Show Event Time" is turned on)
• Location - where the event takes place (if "Show Location" is turned on)
• Color indicator - a colored dot matching your calendar's color

All-day events are displayed separately at the top of the day.

Click any event to open it in Google Calendar for full details.

#Navigating Dates

Use the arrow buttons to move forward or backward:

• In day view, each click moves by one day
• In week view, each click moves by one week
• In month view, each click moves by one month

Click Today to jump back to the current date. Today's date is always highlighted.

#View Modes

#Day View

Shows all events for a single day in a simple list. Great for focusing on what's coming up today.

#Week View

Shows a 7-day grid with your events spread across the week. Each day column shows up to 4 events, with a "+N more" indicator if there are additional events.

#Month View

Shows a full calendar grid for the entire month. Days from the previous and next month are slightly faded. Each day shows your events in a compact format.

#Widget Settings

• View - choose between Day (default), Week, or Month view.
• Show Event Time - show or hide event start and end times. Turned on by default.
• Show Location - show or hide event locations. Turned off by default.
• Show All-Day Events - show or hide events that span the entire day. Turned on by default.
• Week Starts On - set the first day of the week to Sunday (default) or Monday.

#Tips

• Events are cached locally, so your schedule loads instantly when you open your dashboard. Fresh data is fetched in the background.
• You can add multiple Google Calendar widgets to display different calendars side by side.
• Use Day view for a focused daily agenda, Week view for planning ahead, and Month view for a big-picture overview.
