Troubleshooting
Yes. The basic free version of Kalendra offers an incredible variety of fun and cool features which will appeal to everyone. There are a few advanced
features (i.e. text-to-speech engine, export/synchronize data with Outlook, automatic daily online data backup, etc.) which require a nominal Premium membership fee,
but these advanced features will not be necessary for most people to enjoy and use Kalendra.
There is no trial version or time limit as the basic version of Kalendra will always remain totally free.
You should be connected to the Internet the very first time you start up Kalendra in order to complete the
initial registration process. Subsequently, you can use Kalendra offline. However, in order to use Kalendra Instant Messaging
and Instant Email, you should be online so that Kalendra can detect which of your friends are online as well. This is the same
way popular messaging programs like Skype work as well.
No. All of our theme packs are perpetual theme packs with no time limitations whatsoever.
Absolutely. Kalendra can load multiple photo theme packs and allows you to easily switch between them at any time.
Yes.
Yes. Go to http://www.kalendra.com (you can log in with either email or username). You can import your Outlook data into the desktop version and upload/download/synchronize with the online version (great when travelling).
Check out the cool sharing features:

button and choose "Xing" from the drop-down list to log into your Xing account.
Click on the "Add Friends" button in the main program toolbar to send invitations to your friends to install
and use Kalendra. Then click on the "Addresses" button and on the "Import" button to import your friends'
contact details into your Address Book. Anytime thereafter whenever your friends update their own contact details (i.e. email, phone, address, etc.),
Kalendra will automatically update their contact profiles in your Address Book. A very easy and painless way to keep
track of your friends and professional contacts as they progress in their careers and change jobs.
While in Day View, hold the mouse cursor over the left-hand timescale and select "Time Format => 24h"
Select "New => Alarm Clock Event" from the main toolbar. In the resulting pop-up panel,
select the "Enable Alarm Clock" checkbox, set the alarm time, and select a sound you wish to use as your alarm. You may also
enter some text if you wish to have Kalendra read it out loud using the (Premium) text-to-speech engine. A fun
way to use the alarm is to select a favorite song to wake up to. You can vary the Snooze option, which is set to
play the designated sound file 3 times at 10 minute intervals. To turn off the alarm, you can press "Ctrl + Shift + A".
Click on the "Photo Albums" button on the main toolbar and then on the "Auto-Create" (first) button. You will be asked to select a
directory on your hard drive. Kalendra will then automatically catalog/search the selected directory for photo/video files and automatically
create your photo/video album. If you select the "C:" drive, then Kalendra will automatically catalog all of your directories and subdirectories and create
photo albums for your various directories containing photos/videos. You can then browse through your photo/video albums right there in the Photo Album View.
However, if you wish to view your Photo/Video Albums in Theme Pack Mode, simply click on the "Day" button on the main toolbar to go to Day View and
select your desired Photo Album from the "Theme Packs" (main toolbar) button drop-down list. Your Photo Album will automatically load up and display the initial
image/movie. You can press the "Theme Packs" button to select other Photo Albums or easily toggle through the various options by pressing "Ctrl + T".

Kalendra will load up the selected Photo Theme Pack in Day View.
The default Theme Pack image rotation rate is daily so your Theme Pack image will change whenever you change dates. However, you can easily change the rotation timeframe by moving your
mouse cursor over the Theme Pack image window, right-click "Theme Pack Rotation" and select the desired new rotation schedule (can rotate images as often as every 5 seconds).
Simply click once directly on the video image to replay it. While it is playing, you can click on it to pause it and/or to continue playing it.
Select "Send => Send Photogram" or "Send => Videogram" from the main toolbar.

other occasion here as well.
While in Day View or Notes View, press "Ctrl + E" to toggle/expand/close the To-Do List window.

Kalendra automatically works with Skype/SkypeOut. If you select an Address Book contact and click on "Properties",
you will notice a round green phone icon next to the "Home => Phone/Mobile" and "Business => Phone/Mobile" fields.
Simply enter phone numbers in these fields using the full country code prefix (i.e. +1 800 555 1212 for United States)
and you can subsequently click on the round green phone icon next to any contact profile number to automatically
invoke Skypeout to call that number. If you wish to record that call as a voice file, put your PC/laptop's speaker on and select
"Recorder => Note Recording" to record your Skype phone conversation as a replayable voice file, which you can subsequently save
to your hard drive.
Choose "File => Modify => Calendar Password" and enter a desired password for your current calendar data file. You can subsequently
modify or cancel that password using that same option.
Choose "File => New => Calendar File" and enter a desired name for your new calendar data file. You can subsequently
switch between your calendar files by going to "File => Open => Calendar File".
Select "Theme Packs => Customize Flickr" from the main toolbar. You can easily search for your favorite photos
in the resulting pop-up panel and create custom photo theme packs.
Select "Theme Packs => Add Video Chanels" from the main toolbar. You can search for interesting videos,
create custom video (theme pack) channels, and import your favorite YouTube videos.
