How to make a calendar!
I always start with the largest size, in my case 1152x864. Find a background image/color of your liking. REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN

Open a new canvas, this can be any size as long as the numbers of columns and rows you need for that particular month fit.

Remember to make room for the days at the top and also if you want, to number the weeks, like I do.

Use the grid and partition.
Mark for Convert cells to objects.
Your image should now look like this
The cells are locked and you need to unlock them in the Layer Manager

From here you have two choices.

Sometimes it is nice to have each square as a button.

This is how:

Go to Web - Button Designer and Rectangular.
Choose i.e. the default. The width must not be too wide, 4 is a good size. Now you choose colors that looks nice to your background, change the transperancy etc. Remember to check Inward at the top.
If you don’t want buttons you go from here:

Now find a good font to use. Not all are good to write numbers. The first letter is enough to use on the days. Write and put the letter in the middle of each square/button, mark the cell/button and the letter and use the Center Both to get the letter in the center.

 

If you want to have the weeknumbers to the left, write them a little smaller than the rest and set transperancy to about 30. This helps to avoid people reading it  *wrong* if you know what I mean. ;-)

 

Don’t forget to write the month’s name too, and the year if you like.

When you have finished, group the letters, then the numbers, then the cells/buttons...each part should be grouped, this is to make it a little easier to change position when you copy everything to the background/photos you ma de in the beginning. Now place the whole thing where you want, decorate, add borders and/or photos etc. Don’t forget your signature! Save as .ufo and then as .jpg

To make the two smaller sizes, open a new image in the smaller size, go to Edit and Fill and find your calendar under Image, mark for Fit the Image. Go to Focus to sharpen a little, upper right corner is enough.

Congratulation! There you are, your own calendar for your desktop!
