If that third style is chosen, the date format will be: The user can now choose a third style besides 'icon' and 'outlined icon'. I do not know if the original menu bar date/clock is always in this format or locale dependent.

If the latter is the case, the code will have to be further adapted to take that into account.įor the SystemClock style I changed the date font from 'monospacedDigitSystemFont' to 'systemFont'. The time you render a little differently from the date and you made the following comments there: #Itsycal alternative code# of using +monospacedDigitSystemFontOfSize:weight: because We modify the default font with a font descriptor instead Use monospaced font in case user sets custom clock format. we get slightly darker looking ':' characters this way. I would like to use the non-monospaced 'systemFont' for the clock part, too, but haven't touched that for now.

I am not a programmer and haven't figured out how to use Github properly, yet, so I will just attach the files I changed to this comment (Modifications.zip).Īs regards solomon23's modifications I suggest some additional changes (see attachments) to his design: The clock part is thus still a little too wide if compared to the system clock.
add more space at the top and slightly realign the 'month year' title on the left and the three buttons on the right for more symmetry ( any advice how to do this? solved in next comment).
indent the days in the appointment list ( any advice how to do this? solved in next comment). #Apps like itsycal plus
remove the three icons "pin", "calendar" and "settings" instead add a right-click menu ( right-click on Itsycal in the menu bar) with all the options of the "settings" button plus an "Open and pin Itsycal" close pinned calendar easily with left click on Itsycal in the menu bar open calendar app if "month year" title in upper left corner is clicked. Removing the buttons may seem a little extreme, but how often do you really need to change the settings, for example? Does that warrant a permanent button which clutters the interface? #Itsycal alternative plus# I'm not looking to make major changes to the way the app looks at this time. I showed Itsycal to two friends yesterday (who immediately liked and now use it) and both preferred solomon23's design over the current one (they noticed the difference after installing your version and having seen the other design on my computer), but in the end it is your work and you before anyone else should like how it looks.Īllow me one more comment on that topic. The way (active) elements are currently highlighted is pretty inconsistent. preferences and calendar button: blue when active. pin button: 3D button effect + pin changes (pinned down). prev/current/next buttons: always highlighted in blue.
If the pin button was not highlighted with a 3D button effect but turned blue upon activation it would be more in line with the preferences and calendar button. It would also be more logical to only highlight the prev/current/next buttons when they are actually pushed.
