BigCal

A borderless floating calendar window with month, week, and year views.

BigCal sizes itself to the view it is showing, up to the height of the browser viewport. Past that the content area scrolls and the header stays fixed. The window re-fits itself when the browser resizes.

Opening BigCal

Double-click MiniCal, or click its expand button
Click the calendar button on the HUD
Click the BigCal button in the Notes scene controls, which toggles the window
Call CALENDARIA.api.showBigCal()

BigCal also opens on world load when that is enabled in Settings.

Drag the header to move the window. BigCal saves where you drop it and reopens in the same place, clamped back inside the viewport if the browser window has shrunk since. With no saved position it opens centered.

Double-click the header to close BigCal and open MiniCal. Double-clicking one of its buttons or the view selector does nothing.

Display modes

To switch views, use the dropdown in the header.

Month view

The default view. A grid of weeks showing:

Weekday headers, with rest days highlighted
Day cells carrying notes, moon phases, and festival markers
Multi-day events drawn as horizontal bars across the weeks
Faded days from the previous and next month, clickable to navigate there
Intercalary days in their own row below the regular weeks

When the calendar uses a week cycle, weekdays that a cycle row skips render as empty cells.

Week view

One row per weekday, one column per hour of the calendar’s day.

Hour labels run across the top, and the current hour is outlined on today’s row
All-day events render as a single block spanning the whole day row
Timed events sit at their start hour and stretch across the hours they cover
Recurring notes render on every matching day in the visible week
A multi-day event splits into a timed start block, all-day middle days, and a timed end block. Continuation edges drop their rounded corners so the blocks read as contiguous.
A + button on a time cell creates a note at that hour

Selecting a time slot highlights it, and clicking it again clears the selection. While a slot is selected, any + button creates the note at the selected hour instead of the cell’s own hour.

Year view

A three-by-three grid of years, each year showing its months.

The viewed year sits at the center of the grid and is outlined
The month holding the current date is outlined
A month with no days in that year renders dimmed and does not respond to clicks
Click a month to jump to it in month view
The arrow buttons move between year ranges

Button	Action
Previous / Next	Move by month, week, or year range, depending on the view
View selector	Switch between month, week, and year
Today	Jump to the current date
Note Viewer	Open the Note Viewer
Chronicle	Open the Chronicle
Settings	Open the settings panel
Compact	Close BigCal and open MiniCal
Close	Close BigCal
Set Current Date	Set world time to the selected date (GM only)

The Chronicle button appears only when it is enabled in Settings.

When the active calendar disallows negative years, backward navigation stops at the earliest year.

Indicators

The bottom header row carries indicators for weather, season, era, and cycles. The era indicator appears only when the calendar has eras, and the cycle indicator only when it has cycles. As GM you can click the weather indicator to open the Weather Picker.

Equivalent dates

An extra row appears above the indicators whenever one or more equivalent calendars are selected. For each calendar the row shows the viewed date converted to that calendar, linking to its Secondary Calendar Viewer.

Day cells

Element	Description
Day number	The date. Today and the selected day each get a tinted cell background.
Festival icon	Marks a festival day
Moon icons	Up to three visible, with a “+N” badge carrying the rest in its tooltip
Note indicators	One per note on the day
Weather pill	Icon, temperature, and wind direction
Add button	Creates a note on that day, appears on hover

A festival day tints the whole cell in the festival’s color and draws a colored bar along its top edge. The icon is the festival’s own icon or image, falling back to a star when the festival has none.

When a calendar has more moons than the cell can show, clicking a moon icon opens a radial picker for choosing which moon fills that slot.

Note display styles

A note’s display style changes how its indicator draws inside the day cell.

Style	Rendering
Icon	Default. The note’s icon in the note’s color
Pip	A small dot filled with the note’s color
Banner	A full-width colored bar carrying the note’s title

Weather pills

Today. Current weather at full opacity
Past days. Stored weather from the weather history
Future days. Dimmed forecast weather

Forecast pills need weather auto-generation switched on and the forecast permission granted. Without both, a future day shows a pill only where weather has already been stored for that date.

Tooltips

Hovering a day cell shows:

Full date with era
Day name, when the date has one
Festival name, when applicable
Season name
Sunrise and sunset times
Weather conditions
Equivalent dates from other calendars, when configured
The day’s notes, festivals first, each with its own icon in the note’s color. A “+N more” row appears when the list runs past its cap.

Interactions

Click a day to select it. Click again to deselect.
Click a faded day from another month to navigate there.
Right-click a day for its context menu.

Add Note. Creates a note on that day.
Set Current Date. Jumps world time straight to the right-clicked day without selecting it first. GM only, and omitted when you right-click the current date.
Open Chronicle.
The BigCal items: BigCal Settings, which jumps to the BigCal settings tab; Open, whose submenu lists the Calendaria apps the viewer has permission for; the GM-only Show to All / Hide from All toggle; and Close.
The day’s notes, sorted alphabetically. A “+N more” entry opens the Note Viewer filtered to that date.

Inline edit and delete icons appear only on notes you own. Delete asks for confirmation before removing the note.

Right-click the BigCal header for a shorter menu carrying only the BigCal items.

Multi-day events

A note with duration draws as a horizontal bar across the grid.

The bar takes the note’s color and carries its icon and title
An arrow replaces the icon on a bar whose event began before the displayed month, and only on the first row the bar occupies
Overlapping bars condense to thin lines. Hovering one expands it to full height with its icon and title.
Click a bar to open the note
Timed bars trim to the start hour on the first day and the end hour on the last, scaled against the calendar’s hours and minutes per day. All-day notes and the interior weeks of a multi-week span fill their cells edge to edge.

Bars ignore the note’s display style and always draw the icon and title.

With bookends enabled the note draws two single-day bars instead, one on the start day and one on the end day. Nothing is drawn on the days between them.

Events sort by start day, then all-day before timed, then by start hour.

Notes

Clicking a note indicator or an event bar opens the note in edit mode, overriding the Note Open Mode setting. Non-owners get view mode instead.

To create a note, use the + button on a day cell, Add Note in the day context menu, or the + button on a time cell in week view.

BigCal has no search of its own. The header book-open button opens the Note Viewer, where all note searching happens.

GM controls

Set Current Date. Sets world time to the selected date. The button stays disabled until you select a day other than the current date. Its tooltip reads “Current Date” while disabled and “Set Selected Date as Current” once a day is selected.
Weather Picker. Click the weather indicator to change the weather.
Show to All / Hide from All. Context menu toggle for BigCal visibility across connected players.

Players cannot modify world time.

While Show to All is active, players cannot close BigCal. A player who tries gets a notification that the display is forced, and switching the toggle back to Hide from All releases them.

Intercalary days

Intercalary days are festival days flagged as not counting toward the weekday cycle. They appear in their own row below the regular weeks.

Monthless calendars

For calendars without months, the month view shows a three-week sliding window.

The previous week, the current week, and the next week
Navigation moves by week instead of month
The header shows the week and year instead of a month name
