calcurse

Just installed calcurse (port) and was checking the UI. Neat. Some salient points: 1. Windows or panels. Standard with title, title border, border color changes when focus in panel or box (that’s because it keeps updating time and thereofre cursor remains on status bar) 2. 2 bottom lines for keys like we have (keylabels) 3. 3rd last row is a sort of status bar like emacs and vim have 4. Data entry in last 2 rows. 2nd last has prompt, last has entry or edit 5. Similarly menu options selected in last row. A page comes with options, letter indexed. 6. Allows layout change of panels. 7. Allows color change, immediate change. Displays colors rather than name. Color chooser for BG and FG.
