+# calendar
+
+Shows the current date and time. When clicked, a calendar popup is created.
+
+This is similar to the rofi-calendar blocklet, but without the rofi dependency and with a slightly more advanced popup (at least in my opinion).
+
+![](screenshot1.png)
+
+![](screenshot2.png)
+
+# Dependencies
+
+* yad
+* xdotool (for positioning of the popup)
+
+# Installation
+
+* Copy the script into your directory of choice, e.g. ~/.i3blocks/blocklets
+* Give it execution permission (`chmod +x calendar`)
+* Add the script to your i3blocks.conf, for example like this:
+
+```ini
+[calendar]
+command=$SCRIPT_DIR/calendar
+interval=1
+LABEL= 
+DATEFMT=+%H:%M:%S
+# SHORTFMT=+%H:%M:%S
+HEIGHT=180
+WIDTH=220
+```
+
+* Add `for_window [class="Yad"] floating enable` to your i3 config file.
+Unfortunately this is neccessary [because of a bug in `yad`](https://sourceforge.net/p/yad-dialog/tickets/301/).
+You may skip this step if you want to open the calendar popup as a normal tile instead.
+
+# Configuration
+
+Parameters _[deprecated!]_:
+
+* `-f FMT`: date/time format (default _+%a %d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S_)
+* `-W WIDTH`: width of the window (default _200_)
+* `-H HEIGHT`: height of the window (default _200_)
+
+Additionally you may want to
+
+* change the placement of the popup
+* change the parameters for `yad` to change the appearance of the popup
