A simple calendar & multiple timezone display app for Linux

gsimplecal

  1. Install the pkg if necessary. sudo apt install gsimplecal
  2. Add the config file to ~/.config/gsimplecal/ (create the dir)
  3. Customize the config file as desired. It's set for my current needs. See man gsimplecal

Enjoy!

NOTES:

  • On Raspberry Pi OS right click on the time panel item, choose digital clock settings option, then set action when clicked to gsimplecal.
  • To use the config as shown the en_GB.utf8 locale must be available on your system. See Sane Locale if you need to set that up.
