	report Alex S says: Right click on any window or tray icon > New task (or New event) > fill Summary and time > press OK. Mon, Jun 23rd at 01:24pm (4 years ago)
	report netaholics says: I have tried both the window and the tray icon. When the dialogue box pops up the OK button is inactive. When I close the popup it asks if I want to save the changes. If I hit yes, it then states" Unable to find any calendar handlers for the event. The event was not saved." I am using Vista Home SP1. Thanks for your quick response. Mon, Jun 23rd at 08:24pm (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: See Rainlendar FAQ "The OK button is disabled and I cannot create new events". Tue, Jun 24th at 12:32am (4 years ago)
	report netaholics says: Thank you, thank you, thank you. That did the trick. I am still very new to Rainlendar and greatly appreciate your assistance. Your skin is far and away above anything else I have seen. GREAT WORK... Tue, Jun 24th at 06:36pm (4 years ago)
	report klaaswes says: Thank you for the beautifull skin! However the times are faulty. We have summertime in Europe! Therefore it is an hour later in Paris and London than indicated. Thu, Jul 10th at 06:45am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Thank you. May be you forgot turn on DST time (sun icon in upper left corner). See readme.txt. Thu, Jul 10th at 09:11am (4 years ago)
	report klaaswes says: Thank you. This does not help however. When I move the mouse over the sun icon, it gets dim. Clicking it gives me the standard Rainlendar menu. What exactly do you men by pushing the icon? Perhaps stupid, but it is always better to ask! Fri, Jul 11th at 05:16am (4 years ago)
	report klaaswes says: Sorry, when I move the mouse over the sun icon it lights up!! Fri, Jul 11th at 07:45am (4 years ago)
	report klaaswes says: Got it working. A new screen appears when clicking the sun icon with the correct time. Thank you a lot agein! Fri, Jul 11th at 07:49am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Vitrum08w skin has two windows - for actual standard time (dim sun icon) and for actual summer time (bright sun icon). Klicking left key mouse on sun icon close current window and open another one. You can choose proper window in a list also (right click on window > Windows > Calendar DST). This skin was tested for Windows XP and Vista for different time zones with standard and Daylight Saving (Summer) Time. Any bugs was found. I want help you but I can't reproduce your problem. Fri, Jul 11th at 08:14am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: OK, my post was late. Fri, Jul 11th at 08:17am (4 years ago)
	report Exilant says: My fave! Many thanks, Alex! Your screen shot shows a different color (magenta) for the event on Jan 25. All my events show up in blue. Is it possible to distinguish, say, birthdays from other events? If so, how? Sun, Jul 27th at 07:00am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Default color of event date is magenta. Events with category "Holiday" and "Public holiday" have orange color (like weekend days). Events with category "Important" have red color. I think this color is best for difference between birthdays and other events and holidays. Sun, Jul 27th at 03:56pm (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Vitrum 3.0 • New design and more clear fonts. • Shadow shape refreshing was changed from monthly to weekly. • One click toggle between windows. • Year independent code for dst/standard time transitions. • Time count header for alarms. Sat, Sep 6th at 08:36am (4 years ago)

	report milu89 says: I doubleclicked on .r2skin file, but nothing happened. Why? Do I have to install any additional programs? Fri, Nov 14th at 11:23am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: You have to install only Rainlendar2. See readme.txt file for usual procedure. Fri, Nov 14th at 11:52am (4 years ago)
	report milu89 says: Problem solved, thanks :-) Sat, Nov 15th at 04:06pm (4 years ago)
	report klaaswes says: Hello Alex! Thanks for your wonderfull skin! However I do not see any public holidays. I would need Dutch public holidays. Fri, Jan 23rd at 06:53am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Thank you for your apprecitation. You should mark Public Holidays manually. Find a list of Dutch holidays (e.g. Wikipedia). Doubleclick on any day in Rainlendar, input Summary (Samenvatting) of Event (Gebeurtenis), for example New Year's Day (Nieuwjaar). Set the date 01.01.2009 for Start time and End time, mark All day event. Choose Category - Public Holiday (Officiele feestdag) - colour of this date will be yellow. Go to Recurrence (Terugkeerpatroon) and mark Repeat every (Herhaal elke) 1 Years, Forever (Oneindig), OK. Some holidays like Easter have a floating date. In this case you should set the date for every year separately. Sat, Jan 24th at 04:07am (4 years ago)
	report Seraphin says: My favourite so far. I would have like the possibility to change the background colour, and the calendar fonts appear a little 'heavy' to me. An excellent job nevertheless; the moon phases and world map are just brilliant !!! Thu, Mar 5th at 03:44am (4 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Vitrum 3.2 • Blue and Black skin versions for each Hemisphere inside. • Brightness of To Do marker was changed periodically. Fixed. • Excess shadow of upper left button deleted. • Completed items accent now looks better. Thu, Apr 23rd at 07:21am (4 years ago)
	report mossbrucker says: Hej Alex, thanks for your wonderfull skin - it's my favourite!! Tue, Apr 28th at 10:51am (4 years ago)
	report cfvara says: Hello Alex. Looks GREAT. But how do I change the four cities and their timezones? Wed, May 27th at 12:59am (3 years ago)
	report Alex S says: It is not a simple task. You should change time zone in 4 skin windows xml files and make two new png shader-files with 366 frames of new city abbreviation. Transparent parts of shaders make visible current time according actual Standard-DST time transitions. Letters look better if you use clear type simulation. Anyway Rainlendar's Help is very useful for this work. Thu, May 28th at 02:05am (3 years ago)
	report Kevin D says: Hello Alex, I was playing around with the time zone and I can all the time zones I need to work with one exception. I can not get the India time zone working. The India time zone is +5:30. Will Vitrum display the time correctly for time zones that have the extra 1/2 hour? Thanks for a great skin! Wed, Jun 17th at 01:40am (3 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Yes, I see this problem. I ask your question on Rainlendar forum (Support). Thu, Jun 18th at 12:15pm (3 years ago)
	report Alex S says: Vitrum 3.3 • Time indication was wrong in "fractional" time zones (India, Burma, etc). Fixed. Mon, Jun 22nd at 05:12pm (3 years ago)
	report Kevin D says: Thanks for the "timely" update! :-) Works like a charm. Fri, Jun 26th at 09:17pm (3 years ago)
	report drclone says: Hi Alex, I have the same problem with timezones that Kevin D had, but with Caracas (Venezuela) timezone. Caracas has -4:30 timezone, but not work correctly. +4:30 works great but not -4:30. Regards and thanks for the best skin ever! Sat, Feb 20th at 08:11am (3 years ago)
	report lamole234 says: bien Mon, Jul 26th at 07:49pm (2 years ago)
	report alexmidd says: I love the skin, especially the moon phase, but I have a question. How on earth do you change the font size in the event list? It is so tiny I can hardly read it and there appears to be no way of changing this. Same for the tooltips. I have increased the scale but that makes it fuzzy and still unreadable. Help?
