carl
is a calendar for the commandline. It tries to mimic the various
cal(1)
implementations out there, but also adds enhanced features like colors
and ical support.
If you find any bugs or have ideas for additional features, please don't hesitate to create a bug report or a feature request on codeberg or github.

The configuration file is located XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/carl/config.toml
or XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.carl/config.toml
(the latter has precedence).
It can be used to define the name of a themefile as well as one or more icalfiles.
A sample configuration file is located in data/config.toml.
Icalfile listings contain paths to icalfiles and can be combined with their own
styledefinitions. All the events from those icalfiles are then highlighted
using either the IsEvent
property (see below) or using the style defined
togehter with the ical listing.
When using the -a
or --agenda
switch, the event summary is displayed below
the calendar in a bullet list, with the bullet also highlighted with the
corresponding style.
Icalfile listings can be specified using the [[ical]]
setting:
[[ical]]
file = "/home/user/birthdays.ics"
stylenames = ['FGPurple']
If the file
setting points to a directory, carl
uses all the files in the directory it can parse.
Themefiles contain listings of date properties together with styledefintions.
The name of a theme is simple specified using the theme =
setting:
theme = "default"
The themefile is read from XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/carl/<themename>.toml
or XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.carl/<themename>.toml
(the latter has precedence).
Themefiles and Icalfile listings can contain custom style settings. A style changes how a specific date in the calendar is displayed.
A style consists of a list of stylenames and optionally a weight and a styletype ('Dark'
or 'Light'
). If no styletype is set, the style is effective in either case.
The various possible stylenames are listed at the bottom.
Example:
stylenames = ['Dimmed']
weight = 10
styletype = 'Dark'
A themefile consists of a collection of datestyles:
A datestyle consists of a list of properties of a date and a style. The date has to fullfill all of the properties for the style to be applied.
Example:
[[date]]
properties = ['CurrentDate']
stylenames = ['FGRed']
weight = 3
styletype = 'Light'
