For assistance with my iCal Events or News Reader widgets, please review the list of known issues below before submitting a support request.

Leopard Compatibility

The latest version of iCal Events is now compatible with Leopard! More info

News Reader

It would be great if the widget were resizable, if it had different color schemes, and if it were possible to reorder and rename feeds.

I agree! I hope to have a chance to add these features soon.

iCal Events

On Tiger, the widget displays “Unable to load calendar events.”

Sorry for the trouble. Please try closing and reopening the widget.

The text displays incorrectly or is overlapping.

The date on each line should be displayed only as a time, not as both a time and date. Please check your date settings in System Preferences > International > Formats; if the time format indeed shows just a time, everything should work properly.

An event set to repeat after n occurrences is not ending properly.

Unfortunately, iCal Events doesn’t correctly handle recurring events set to end after n occurrences. If you click the errant events and delete them in iCal or set them to end on a certain date, they should go away from the widget. This problem is fixed in Leopard.

Clicking a repeating event in the widget highlights the first occurrence, not the clicked occurrence.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of Spotlight, which is what the widget uses to display the given event in iCal. If you open an event via the Spotlight menu, the same thing will happen.

It would be great if the widget had different color schemes.

I agree! I hope I have a chance to add this soon.

Some events from the Birthdays calendar display multiple times.

This is a known issue. The problem is fixed in Leopard.

Today’s recurring all-day events (including events from the Birthdays calendar) do not display in Leopard.

This is actually a bug in the Apple framework that iCal Events uses to access events in Leopard. I hope this will be fixed in a Mac OS X software update.
