I never quite liked the calendar in Chronos 3, the intention was to make it a bit different to the previous version but honestly something just didn’t look right.
Old Version

However my head went in the sand for a while until a user emailed me this week, pointing out it was not good for the visually impaired, too small & the fonts/colours were inspid

So poked into life the calendar is changing in version 3.04, its size, fonts & colours are adjustable. Its new, improved just please dont tell me its insipid
New Version

So here I am, transplanted for a few weeks from a wet & flooded UK to sunny Arizona

Its 103F outside, sitting here, notebook setup and trying to program while looking out at the pool.

Bugger the programming, pool here I come B-)
