What is new in Active Desktop Calendar 7.3
Text banner calendar style
This new calendar style adds to existing standard square text calendars. It is banner-like with all days of a month displayed side by side from the first to the last in a single long horizontal banner. If used to display two months at once this style works good with vertical orientation where the next month appears beneath the current month. To try this out go to Settings - Calendar Appearance and switch Calendar Style to Text (banner), then adjust Calendar Position.
