The most obvious additions are new Mail and Calendar apps that look and feel a lot like Microsoft’s Office Windows 10 apps. A new Windows 10 build (10051) has surfaced on the internet today that includes some welcome changes. Stop trying to think they are better than the Web 2.While Microsoft’s Windows 10 preview program is starting to supply updates on a regular basis, the leakers are always one step ahead.That shouldn't be the case, it's just an extension of the whole gCal interface for desktop integration) Take some hints from the gCal design in the aforementioned bullet (it would be great if they kept a similar design - using Calgoo makes you think you are using something completely different.Massively redesign the application focusing on icons, colors, graphics and an HCI-tested UI.Ditch the need for a Calgoo account and private Google account info going through them.It has a filter which should come in handy for those tackling many events, as well as an interface for sharing calendars with friends. Apart from the UI pitfalls, Calgoo does have some redeeming features. Even the technically-inclined Adam Pash at Lifehacker was unable to get the calendar to show: For some reason the calendar would not show up - I was able to create new appointments and sync them with my Google Calendar, but I could never actually look at the main calendar.Īlso, for some reason Calgoo would not recognize events that I had set to repeat and would only display the events the first time they were scheduled. Things like that shouldn't be the case with calendar software. The color scheme and layout felt tacky to me and did not look like your normal Windows XP application, however I think that can be attributed to the fact that it is a Java application (which makes me wonder why it's currently Windows only).Īfter I had logged in with my Google Calendar account and synced/imported calendars, it took me quite some time to get the calendar to even show. Lower resolution users in mind, it really does not work too well. That aside, I'm really not a fan of Calgoo's user interface. Unfortunately, there is always a risk associated with letting your Google account login information go through a third party such as Calgoo. The freeware program requires that you make an account through them to be able to download and run the program but after that you can login with your Google Calendar info.
