Google Calendar Settings

Calendar

This is where you’ll choose the calendar to show events from. Any of the calendars that are in your Google Account will appear in this list.

Refresh Interval

Select how frequently the widget should refresh and check for new events from the selected calendar. 

Scroll Delay (seconds)

With most calendars, you won’t be able to see every event on the screen at once, so the calendar will need to scroll through events. Here is where you’ll set the duration of the scroll delay (in seconds) that the widget should wait before beginning to scroll.

The delay will also occur if the widget gets to the end of the list before scrolling back up to the top.

Scroll Speed

Set how fast the calendar should scroll through events.

Font Size

Select how large the font should be within the widget.

Number of Events

Select the number of events you want displayed on the widget. It will always grab the next chronological event as the first event that will appear, and will then grab additional events up to the number that’s selected here.

Background Color

Select the background color of the agenda list. This is different from the background color of the slide or region and is specific to Google Calendar.
