I tried this widget out and it did not display any calendars. I flipped it around and under "Calendars" it was just a blank field. I fiddled around in iCal for a bit, then decided to quit iCal and see if that would work. Sure enough, they came up.

Widget seems to work fine now, besides only being able to choose from the top three calendars in my list. A little annoying, but since this is the only widget of its kind out there (and one I would have thought would be included with Tiger by default anyway) I'll live with it -- I can just rearrange the calendars to change which ones I want to view.

But thanks for making this widget! It'll really help a lot, because I hate opening up the huge window that is iCal just to check one simple thing.

The problem with the scrollbar on the back is a result of using TinkerTool, *censored*tail, or another method of getting scrollbars to have both arrows at both ends of the scrollbar. There simply isn't enough room to display both arrows, so Mac OS X doesn't show any. This problem will be fixed in version 2.1; in the meantime, all you can do is turn off this feature in TinkerTool or *censored*tail.

I don't have both arrows at both ends, I have one up arrow on top and one down arrow on bottom as is the sensible way to do it. But for whatever reason it didn't work before, I can scroll now, and select however many calendars I want.

But it doesn't update any of the changes I make in iCal until I quit the program (maybe why I had the initial problem where it didn't work?). Is that the way it's supposed to work? I like to have iCal open to add things, but the widget doesn't display any of the things I add until I quit.

And I know it's a little thing, but scrolling through the events on the front side doesn't work with my scroll wheel / scrolling trackpad. I have to actually click in the scroll area, which is a pain. Any chance of fixing that in the future?

And today it did update an event I entered in to iCal without having to quit the program, but now it's listing events on next saturday and the following saturday as both being next saturday when I'm in the 14-day view. If I lower it to 7 days, it realises that one of them isn't supposed to be there and removes it, but then if I go back to the 14-day view, it still doesn't get its own day and is listed on the same day again.
