The only problem is that Sunbird is so slow and there are no themes available that make it look anywhere close to how slick Google Calendar looks. It’s a great idea, though. If some company can continue down this direction, I’ll be using their product.

What’s disappointing is that I fully utilize Backpack’s calendar, iCal on my desktop, and Google Calendar, all synchronized and up-to-date using the iCal standard, without having to resort to add-ons.

Any suggestions?

I tried out Lightning a while ago, but didn’t like it. I then moved to Google Calendar and have been fairly happy. I think it’s probably time to give Lightning another look and see how things go. Thanks for the useful post!
