    Some small remarks that may help to make JPilot even more nice and
    shiny.
    
    In the DateBook view, the small calendar, the currently selected day
    is highlighted, but you cannot see what day is today. Maybe highlight
    it (permanently) with a different colour?
    
    In the Week and Month views, you cannot see what day is today. Maybe
    highlight with a different colour? (Note that I do not consider
    "Annotate today" to be a big help as it hardly stands out.)
    
    In the Week and Month views, if there's more info than fits in the
    small area, there is no visual clue that there's more. Maybe a 2 pixel
    red line at the bottom of the area?
    
    In the Week and Month views, entries without time have an "*"
    prepended. I don't think that adds value.
    
    In the Week and Month views, I'd love to be able to set a coloured
    background for entries depending on the category.
    
    Modern GTK based applications, due to a STUPID design error in GTK,
    cannot honour the good old fashioned -geometry command line option.
    JPilot seems to remember the size of its main window and tries to
    establish that when restarted. Personally I'd love to see a JPilot
    command line option like
    
       --windowcfg "main:845x1173+0+0,month:749x1173+847+0"
    
    (And yes, this would also cause JPilot to start with the Month view
    open.)
    
    Just some suggestions. 
    Thanks for the good work,
    
           Johan
