Free Calendar

How can I get to the calendar tabs (Day, Week, etc.) in Layout mode?

The tabs of the calendar are hidden beneath a series of buttons which need to be moved up and out of the way before you can edit the tabs beneath them. In layout mode you'll see some orange text right above these buttons.

Simply click on the button beneath the orange text (they are all grouped together as one object) and use your up arrow key to move these up 25 px or so. Now you'll be able to see the tabs beneath them (the tabs names are in gray) and click on them to move from tab to tab.

You can leave the buttons up and out of the way even in browse mode while you're working on the calendar layouts, but know that the buttons themselves may not refresh properly when they are out of position like this. Don't worry; they'll begin behaving again as soon as you move them back.

How did you get that orange text to only show up in layout mode.

That is one of our favorite tricks. Just conditionally format the text to "disappear" when Get ( WindowMode ) ≠ 4. For "disappearing" we like to select a really large font size (like 300px) rather than a font color so we can make text disappear over things that aren't a solid color (like gradients).

The calendar defaults to the day view, can I change that?

Sure. The day view is one of several native tabs and is set as the default. Simply get to the tabs for the Day, Week, Month, etc tabs (instructions for getting to that tab control can be found above) and double click on one of the tabs to bring up the tab control. Then specify a different tab as the default.
