There is the xfce4-datetime-plugin.
There is a build script at Sbo, http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...rch=xfce4-date

@PROBLEMCHYLD My calendar problem is solved by the one that appears under the Date in tool tray. Time & Calendar are indispensable to those of us who get lost in computers Glad that xcalc is still there.

If you have Wine installed, and you don't need a network calendar (Fastmail or Google Calendar, for example), you could install UK's Kalendar, which is a nice replacement for Orage.

Another -- inexpensive, at least in the western world -- option, which has a native Linux build, and can connect to CalDAV and other network calendars, is Rainlendar Pro.

Well I use Fastmail ; the web app shortcuts make it almost as good as a desktop mail and calendar client.

But the point I was making with Kalendar and Rainlendar is that they integrate nicely with the Xfce desktop, which is the point of the thread. They are a drop-in replacement for Orage. Does calcurse drop into the taskbar tray?

Some windows calendar under wine isn't going to integrate either. KdeOraginizer would likely fit in better since it could be set to match the theme.

I wonder why they took out Orange. The keyboardStatus was removed also and someone forked it and I put that version into a Slackbuild, just waiting for 15 submissions to open back up to submit it.

So nobody knows how it's possible for xfce-build-all.sh to be MIA without a note from changelog?
Wonder if some other stuff went missing the same way.

I have found that Windows software that can run from a portable folder runs well under Wine, and UK's Kalendar is no exception.

And some of us who use Xfce would rather use a Windows program than have anything to do with the bloated, never-ending bug fest that is KDE. Or Plasma, or whatever they call it these days.

I don't think it's common for build script additions/changes/removals to be documented in the ChangeLog. The ChangeLog.txt is mainly used to document package changes, not changes in the scripts used to build them.

In this case, xfce-build-all.sh was removed when Xfce 4.14 replaced 4.12.
