GTK already contains a simple calendar widget and I think it should do - a calendar is something a lot of applications would want to display. Andrew is correct imo, if HildonCalendar has the same API as GtkCalendar, it shouldn't be separated out; this just makes applications that use GtkCalendar more tedious to port to maemo. The bugs that cause GtkCalendar to require modification for hildon should be fixed and patches submitted for upstream. If you're looking for something more complex though, I will plug libjana: http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/jana/trunk/ , which along with a lot of other time-based PIM bits, contains a variety of detailed calendar widgets. --Chris _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
