Overview
In a nutshell, WinEvents is an event reminder. It's purpose is
to remind you of upcoming events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
WinEvents can be configured to automatically run every time you start
Windows, to make sure you won't miss any important events.

friends, relations and colleagues)
The events displayed at the top of the list in grey are past events,
the single event displayed in bright blue is an event occurring today
(Martin's daughter was born on 16 March 2000), and all other events are
those occurring in the future.
All the colours used for the displayed events are fully configurable,
as is the duration of both future and past events that are displayed.
