>     The GNOME Calendar can be used in the state which it is shipped but there 
     are tools available to make sure it is setup the way you would like it to 
     be. The first place you should go is the GNOME Calendar Preferences. You 
     can find the Preferences dialog by selecting the 
     <SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Preferences</SPAN
> menu item from the <SPAN
CLASS="GUIMENU"
> 
     Settings</SPAN
> menu.

>    The Calendar Preferences dialog is broken up into three tabs, Time display,
    Colors, and Todo list.
   </P
><P
>   Time - This tab is broken up into three main sections: Time format, Weeks 
   start on, and Day range.
   </P
><P
>      Time format - This allows you to choose between a 12 or 24 hour format 
      clock.
   </P
><P
>      Weeks start on - This allows you to define what day your week will start 
      on, Sunday or Monday. This will affect how the calendar is laid out in the 
      Day and Week views.
   </P
><P
>      Day range - This section lets you choose what time your days will start 
      and end. Any hours outside the range selected will be shaded on your Day 
      view.
   </P
><P
>    Colors - This tab allows you to change the default colors used in the 
    Calendar. There are seven color choices you can customize: Outline, 
    Headings, Empty days, Appointments, Highlighted day, Day numbers, and 
    Current day's number. Each choice has a small color selector box next to 
    it. When you press this box you will be given a color selector dialog in 
    which you can choose the color you want. Once you have selected a color the 
    small sample calendar on the right side of the tab will preview your choice.
   </P
><P
>    Todo List - This tab allows you to define which columns will be shown in the
    Todo List in the Day View. You can set the Summary, Due Date, and Priority
    columns.
   </P
><P
>    Once you have made the changes to the Calendar Preferences you may press the 
    <SPAN
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Apply</SPAN
> button to apply them.
