A calendar for your desktop
AllDay is a simple calendar application meant for not much more than to show an overview of a
given year. Initially it shows the current year with todays month and day highlighted.
It can be used whenever a quick glance onto a calendar overview is necessary. If it is out
of a scheduling or planning process or any other date related task, with AllDay all major
calendrical information is shown in one single view.
Switch to any year
Once on the screen the display of AllDay can be switched forward or backward a year or to any
other given year.
Any year in the Gregorian or Julian calendar system is shown in the year overview.
Day details
In addition to the year overview AllDay has a day panel with details about the
currently highlighted day. The day panel lists the times of sunrise and sunset for that day
as well as the corresponding dates in the islamic, hebrew or chinese calendar system.
Holidays and other events
The application knows holidays and other events too. It is possible to enter any
event a user might want to highlight in the year or day view. Powered by the
Light Development Holiday Library AllDay keeps track of
computation of all entered events in any given year.
Event definition and storage
Events as defined through a user friendly interface can be stored to and retrieved from
files in a common XML format. Powered by the Light Development XML package
this is achieved in a lean and fast manner.
Extension and demo for other Light Devlopment producs
Besides its main purpose as descibed above AllDay is not only a demonstration of how to implement
the Light Development Holiday Library. It is also an example for the extension
and usage of the Light Development Date Picker and
Position Picker packages. Both packages are used by AllDay to build
the year overview and to set individual geographic positions (for computation of sunrise and sunset
in this case).

History
AllDay originally was created as an application on the Apple Macintosh. Written in C it
was widely used in the public domain since 1990. Later it was discontinued on the Mac and
ported to Windows. Distributed as shareware the
Windows version had
a big user community as well.
Lately the author wanted to make available AllDay to as
much users and platforms as possible and decided to port it to Java. As an
application now being based on 100% pure Java, XML and PDF it can be used on UNIX,
Linux, Mac and Windows.
