| The Mini-Calendar in the lower left-hand sidebar displays blue busy-bars: a roll-up of all your events so that when you're browsing the mini-cal you get a high-level sense of the general landscape of your calendar. When you're in the Calendar Application Area, the Preview Pane that sits above the Mini-Calendar displays your schedule for Today so that even as you browse around in the main calendar, you don't lose track of what's coming up. In the other Application Areas, the Preview Pane serves as a quick and easy way to browse your calendar (using the Mini-Calendar) without having to actually go to your calendar. |
