I have been using ReminderFox for a calendar based reminder list. Now that Lightning is integrated into version 60 I'm trying to configure Lightning to create a calendar based reminder list, and use it instead. Unless I set the event view to a single day I can only read two or three words of the event description (unless I double click on it), and when looking ahead I don't need the time information (which wastes a lot of screen real estate).

I imported my calendar from ReminderFox, and checked tasks in "events and tasks" to get rid of the large calendar pane. I now have three vertical panes in a Tasks tab - a mini-month (useful), new tasks pane (not useful), and a vertical event pane that identifies today, tomorrow and the date in later events (exactly what I wanted). How do I get rid of the middle vertical pane? The only way I can find to get rid of it re-enables the calendar pane (wrecking the calendar based reminder list), and I can't seem to drag and drop the vertical edges to reduce the size. The mouse cursor will change from a single arrow to a horizontal double arrow when I select the edge of the vertical pane, but it won't let me drag and drop it.

As a temporary workaround I closed the Tasks tab (that had the mini-month, new tasks and events) and dragged the border above "show completed tasks" in the "events and tasks" vertical pane in the main window as low as I could. That only wastes the bottom 3 lines in the vertical pane on the right. This is a reasonable replacement for what I'm used to but there really isn't enough room to have all of the data I want to see in the folder pane and the event&tasks pane at the same time. Especially since I like to read messages in a message preview pane instead of a tab/window. So I enabled the Tasks tab again.

Any suggestions on how I can get rid of the middle vertical pane (new tasks) in the Tasks tab or reduce its width?

I prefer to use the 'Today Pane'. This only appears as a single vertical pane on the right. It means I can still see Folder Pane and list of emails. I can expand the width using splitter if required. It is subdivided horizontally to show calendar above events and tasks below events. But the view can change depending upon what you wan to see.

'View' > 'Today Pane' > select : 'Show Today Pane' OR Use the 'Today Pane' button in Status Bar bottom right OR toggle the view using F11 key.

You can choose to view 'Events' or 'Tasks' or 'Events and Tasks' using arrow icons located to the right.

You can choose the 'Date'/'calendar' view. To set calendar view: 'View' > 'Today Pane' > select : 'Show mini month'

If 'Tasks' are visible, this pane can be raised or lowered which allows more space for 'Events'.

Using the F11 key to hide or show the 'Today Pane' is really useful. Example image below. T

More options available here: 'Menu icon '(3 lines) > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Calendar' You can change the:

  • date text format.
  • timezone.
  • Default values for New Items
  • Today Pane 's upcoming section
  • Prefered start of week day
  • colours for categories
  • Plus a few more options.

Thanks for replying but you're basically just suggesting the temporary workaround I already rejected in the third paragraph of my post..
