A Windows Sidebar gadget for displaying the day’s Google Calendar events.
This gadget uses Google Calendar’s magic cookie authentication. In order to set it up, you must provide a key from your Google Calendar account.
- Log in to Google Calendar; Navigate to Settings→Calendar Settings.
- Click the Calendars tab and select the calendar you wish to track.
- At the bottom of the screen under Private Address, click XML. You are presented with a URI.
- In js/settings.js, set this.email to your Google account e-mail address.
- Set this.key equal to the long key string between private- and /basic in the URI.
- Deploy the gadget to your Sidebar folder specified in build.bat
See LICENSE for terms.
- All-day events for the next day appear on the current day’s calendar. The strange thing is that the Android Google Calendar widget behaves the same way.
- Events occasionally appear out of order. I can recreate this for reoccurring events that happen every Tuesday: one from 11:45AM-1:25PM, the other from 2:00PM to 5:00PM.
