Hi,

Is it possible to customize Gtk::Calendar to look something like this?  
[Nederlandse Palmclub: pagina niet gevonden (404 - File Not Found)](http://www.palmclub.nl/images/reviews/rec469-1-bt0g5.small.png)

If not, any suggestions (other than writing a widget from scratch)?

Thanks!  
Joe

Hi,

what you want is something like an organizer. Gtk::Calender doesn’t has  
such functionality. Also i don’t know about an other library that  
provides something like this as a widget, where it would be easy to  
write bindings for.
