When you’re focused and busy, notifications are crucial for reminding you about upcoming events and deadlines. In Vivaldi Calendar, you have the option to make life a bit more fun with exciting notification effects.
To pick a notification style:
Web calendars, for example local public holidays or your favorite sports team’s match calendar, are a good way to follow events that you don’t want to add manually yourself, but would still like to know about. Web calendar events are read-only, meaning you can view them, but only the calendar owner can edit the events.
To subscribe to a web calendar from a website:
To manually add a web calendar:
If you’re an early bird you might want to your days in the Calendar to start earlier too or vice versa, later, if you’re a night owl.
To change the start and end hours and thus also the length of the day:
Then, in Day and Week views, the day starts and ends with your chosen hours. For example, at 4:00 in the morning as on the screenshot below. All hours outside your day will be collapsed. To show collapsed hours as well, untick the box for Collapse Excluded Hours in Visible Day Hours setting.
Vivaldi Calendar can easily be used to keep track of your to-do list. Tasks with deadlines will be shown on their due date among your other events. All tasks, including ones with a deadline, can be seen in the Agenda view.
To create a new task in the Vivaldi Calendar:
One of the great things about the Calendar being integrated in the browser is that you can skip a bunch of steps when creating a new event. Say you’re browsing the web or reading your emails and want to create an event or a task from what you see. All you need to do is:
Now you have a new event in your calendar in no time and you can just carry on what you were doing.
Events in Calendar can include a lot of information. Whether you see everything or just the basics is for you to decide.
To switch between these views, click on the View buttons in the top right corner of the Calendar tab, next to the Filter and Search field.
Alternatively, change the view in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Events View.
Full – Shows the event time, title, description, location and link of the event.
Compact – Shows the same as above, but if the description or link info are too long only limited amount of that info will be displayed.
Minimal – Only event time and title are shown.
For adding and editing events, Vivaldi Calendar offers two types of editing modes.
Inline editor – edit events inside the calendar view with event information divided into tabs with all surrounding events visible.
Popup dialog – edit events with all information about the new event visible simultaneously, but surrounding events potentially hidden by the popup dialog.
To make your choice between the two, go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Edit mode.
Vivaldi Calendar offers 6 different views for your events – day, week, multiweek, month, year and agenda. You can switch between them by clicking on the view buttons in the top right corner of the Calendar (below Search) or by using keyboard shortcuts.
To switch views using your keyboard, first enable Single Key Shortcuts in Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. Then, press one of the following keys on your keyboard:
As with any shortcuts in Vivaldi, you can change them in Settings > Keyboard.
