Calendar text in Weekly view (Outlook-PC Style)

[sergiopi]

This is a pocket outlook feature, disableb by default in 320x240 devices.
The text couldn't fit in the small space in those devices. Using a 128 or 96 DPI Athena is a usefull feature
A simple registry tweak is needed to activate

Show Calendar event text in Week View
The key Calendar and the ShowTextInWeekView may not exist - just create it if it doesn't

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekVie w = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To disable it again:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekVie w = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Please note that your event must have long enough a duration to show the event text, and the week view (with its narrow columns) truncates long words easily

Change Calendar 'working days'

If you wish to change the 'working days' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For a Mon-Fri workweek (default):

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)

For a Mon-Sat workweek:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2210007E (DWORD hexadecimal)

For a Tue-Thu workweek:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 22100016 (DWORD hexadecimal)

Here's how this works. When editing the value, switch to "Binary" mode. For the default Mon-Fri, you should see:

100010000100000000000000111110

The last 7 numbers are what we're interested in. They stand for the days of the week, in reverse order: Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday. When the number is "1", it is a working day. If it is "0", it's not a working day. So to look at the above examples again:

Days : SFTWTMS
Mon-Fri: 0111110
Mon-Sat: 1111110
Tue-Thu: 0011100

Using the above, you should be able to set the working days to whatever you'd like. Note that this value also adjusts the working HOURS. The examples here all use the default 8am-5pm workday. See the "Change Calendar 'working hours'" tweak to modify this. Note that the ActiveTimes key and value may not exist. Simply create them first.

Change Calendar 'working hours'

If you wish to change the 'working hours' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For 8am-5pm (default):

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)

For 9am-5pm:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2212003E (DWORD hexadecimal)

For 2pm-10pm:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2C1C003E (DWORD hexadecimal)

Would be nice if someone could make a cab for this.

Thanks, useful to turn on this imho essential feature. Would be nice to reduce the font size and unbolden the appointment text.

I'm going to have to stick with day view for now: all-day appointments remain hidden in week view unless they're selected, and there's no way of knowing if you have more than one all-day appointment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the work week tweaks mostly redundant? You can change this option in Tools-Options-General-Week View 5/6/7 day week and Tools-Options-General-1st day of week

Work week tweaks is just to have more control. You can chose a working week with mon and fri holidays 1011101 Knowledge is power :)

Change Calendar 'working hours'.

Here's how this works:

The first 2 characters define the ending hour as a count of half hours since midnight, in hexadecimal. So for midnight, it would be 0 half hours in hexadecimal = 0. 5pm is 17 hours, or 34 half hours. 34 in hexadecimal is 22. 10pm is 22 hours, or 44 half hours. 44 in hexadecimal is 2C. You can use a calculator capable of hexadecimal conversions to get the hexadecimal number.
Similarly, the next 2 characters define the starting hour as a count of half hours since midnight, in hexadecimal. So for 8am.. 16 half hours, 16 in hexadecimal is 10. 9am = 18 half hours = 12. 14h = 28hh = 1C.
