Want to minimize Chandler to your system tray?
Windows and Linux users: A couple of users have written in to the Users-List about handy tools they’ve found to make it possible to minimize Chandler to the system tray.

Avner sends new items to Chandler from his phone
Avner recently wrote in to the Users’ List about how he can create new items from his cell phone by sending text messages to Chandler via email and Chandler IMAP folders.
See instructions on how to set up Chandler IMAP folders.
How are you making using of Chandler’s IMAP folders?
…I just figured out a pretty good way to add things to Chandler on the move. I can send texts to e-mail addresses, so I set up a filter to put emails from my cell phone in the proper IMAP folder. It works pretty well for me…

Sync *all* of your Chandler data with Apple iCal, Lightning…
For a couple of months now, Chandler Hub has supported the ability to sync all of your Chandler data (not just events) onto other iCalendar or CalDAV to applications and tasks.
Chandler notes (starred or plain) should now show up in other iCalendar or CalDAV calendar applications (e.g. Apple iCal, and Lightning) as Tasks (VTODOS).
Here are instructions on how to subscribe to Chandler collections from other calendar applications. (Unfortunately, some Chandler-specific will be lost. e.g. NOW and LATER triage status will both be interpreted as “Not-Done”. Anytime events will look the same as All-day events.)
I also demo this in the second half of the new 3-Minute Feature Tour. Also available (lo-res) on YouTube.
Has anyone made use of this feature yet?
Chandler Hub 1.0 Detail View
A big piece of upgrading the Hub in recent months has been moving more of our UI to dojo and sprucing up the detail view was one of the main areas we focused on. Travis did most of the work of moving ui code to dojo, and most of the detail view work. I did a final touch-up, standing on the shoulders of giants.
The detail view effort aimed to simplify what users see as they create and edit their data. Now, a simple note looks like this:
We’ve moved the Remove and Save buttons to the top, so they don’t shift around as the detail view size changes. We’ve also simplified the UI for adding the “star” stamp (which used to be called task) and adding to the calendar.
Throughout the new UI, we make use of dojo’s elaborate support for fades, which help make expand and disappear changes easier to follow.
One of these fade-ins happens if you click on “ADD TO CALENDAR” or the event icon.
To reduce clutter, we’ve used more hint-text in widgets and fewer permanent labels. We also hide event related widgets that don’t apply to the current event. So, for example, “anytime” events which don’t have a start time don’t need a timezone, so we don’t display a timezone picker until you choose a start time for your event.
We’ve also made a much-clamored for addition for events, a date picker. Happily, dojo gave us this for free.
Once you fill in a start-date, end-date defaults to start-date.
Finally, we’ve moved our notes field to dojo’s expanding text area. So if you’ve got three pages of notes, the notes field (and the entire detail view pane) will automatically expand to give you room to type everything.
For reference, here’s a snapshot of the old detail view.
