Resizing windows
The Monthly and Weekly planner panels are fixed sizes, but the sizes for the Appointment,
Reminders, and ToDo panels can be adjusted. For example, to resize the Reminders panel:
1. Move the pointer to the horizontal line that separates the Appointments and Reminders
panels. The mouse pointer changes to a resize pointer.
2. Click and drag the line upwards until the Reminders panel is the desired size.
Similarly, the size of the fields in the ToDo panel can be changed. Grab the vertical bar
that separates the two fields and move it to the right or left until the fields are the desired
size.
Customizing application preferences
Note: Some of the fields in the DayMinder Preferences box may not be implemented at
the time of release.
Customize the DayMinder application preferences using the Preferences dialog box. Access
the Preferences dialog box by selecting
Preferences from the File menu, or by clicking
with the RIGHT mouse button within the Appointment panel. Select Properties from the
pop-up menu.
