<font size="+1">Greetings to y'all!<br>
<br>
After some extensive testing, and quite a bit of googling of
reviews and user experiences, I can assure you your deprecated
"Orage" app (some 15+ years ago called "Xfcalendar") provides you
with all the functionality you're looking for, and then some. <br>
<br>
Alas and as you well know, it is still written to the GTK2
standard. But it has good bones, its code is quite clean (though
lacks a lot of the comments a maintainer would need) and doesn't
use a database, like ie SqlLite. Instead, it relies on the
flat-file "Ical" file spec for its master file * calendaring and
calendar import/export funtions - not exactly reliable from an
update and/or recovery point of view, but a good starting point
for overhauling the code.<br>
<br>
Its dynamic notification icon in the status tray has everything
you're looking for, and could be revised with some modest work
(imho) to function as a regular panel plugin replacing the
existing clock plugin (if that's what you're after). But you do
recognize that you can't just have events and alerts without the
underlying data management, which would mean that the calendaring
would have to run as a child process of the panel. Is that a good
idea?<br>
<br>
Just some constructive thoughts.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Bruno<br>

<div>I've added a GSoC idea of improving the clock to have
calendar capabilities, so please add to the description text
if you have any input on it.</div>
