Showing categories on the calendar
Hello all,

I have just changed to PPC from Palm and although I am pretty satisfied with the change, there is something I miss.

In the Palm, you can assign colors to the Categories and they would show in the different calendar views, but I have not been able to do it in the PPC, only some limited "coloring" using the "out of oficce", "free", etc items (not sure of the translation as my software is in Spanish).

Do you know if it is possible to do something like that in WM2003 SE, or by using some add-on software.

TIA,

Alvaro

The calendar that comes with WM is pretty limited. For more features, many people use Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion. There are trials available for both. Sorry, I cannot provide a link as I'm on mobile, but you should have no problems with a Google search.

BTW, welcome to Aximsite!

Thanks, I've just downloaded both trial versions and I will check them. Anyhow, if some has already done this "evaluation" it would sure help to know their opinion.

Thanks

Welcome to the site -

As the PIM functions are one of the most widely used on a PDA you will find that there are large number of users of both on this site and every now and then they post their thoughts about one or the other (or both)

Do a search on this site for the following:
- Pocket Informant
- PocketInformant
- PI
- Agenda Fusion
- AgendaFusion
- AF

And you will get enough reading to keep you happy until Christmas -

BTW - they are both excellent and most of the time it comes down to personal choice (or even which one you try first!).

Is this for me Frenchy? If so...

urecha, also check out PocketBreeze it is a today screen plug-in that allows you to completely customise how you display you appointments etc (I use it conjunction with PI) and it is excellent.

There is a link to the software in my MyPDA.

Gigi, I just made a "quantum leap" and understand the differences between both the Today screen plugin and PIM to replace the included OS one. I should have made the link but never did. Maybe the medication taken for my tooth problem for the last three weeks have something to do with this.

Just to tell you that I installed the trial of Agenda Fusion and I like it very much. The only thing would be to be able to access the Messages from the AF today view, is this possible? Would I need a Today plugin like it was said above?
Thanks
