iCal Events Widget gets Leopardised, tooltips
Hmmm… Ever published a blog post, only to discover a better solution thirty seconds later?
The iCal Events widget has been updated for Leopard and now sports a more pretty interface.
The developer says that on Leopard the widget is “dramatically less processor- and memory-intensive” that it was under Tiger.
It pulls your events out of iCal and displays them, nicely colour-coded, for today and as many days into the future as you care to set in the preferences on the reverse of the widget.
Clicking an event takes you to it in iCal. It now also features a useful tooltip. Hover your mouse over the event and it displays the contents of the notes field and the location in the widget’s status bar.
The Preference Pane on the back also allows you to select which calendars the widget will pull events from.
iCal Events is freeware and available from the developer’s web site 
.

I discovered this and then it came up on Macosxhints.com, but if you click the calendar widget, out slides a drawer of the month, click the day part again, and out slides your events.
What is lame, is that every calendar event is shown, whether it is checked in iCal or not.
So this widget is still better… glad Ben updated it.
