# TkGoodStuff Ical

## Description

The Ical client is an alarm/calendar utility. It relies on the calendar generated by the very nice program ical for its information. The Ical client by default creates its own button (though it also puts entries in the popup menu and lights up the clock border to show that it's there, so you can configure it not to produce its own button). The Ical client reads your calendar at user-definable intervals (if it has changed), and posts alarms when ical would have done so, had you left it running (the point of this client is to free you from having to do that). The alarm dialogs have buttons for launching ical (to read and modify the calendar) and for selectively or globally stopping alarms.

One of the items the Ical client adds to the popup menu is a command to list the items for the day (including appointments, notices, and to-do items). This command can automatically be run at startup.

## Invocation

All parameters are adjustable in the preferences manager.
