SVC Tip #6 - Preferential treatment!

As you may have figured out by now, I have been using Sky View Cafe for quite a while. Occasionally, I find something new (or quirky) so I thought I would bring a few things to your attention.

First, I like to set the calendar tab as my default view since I want check the moon phase and to choose the day first anyhow. This can easily be done using the blue button up on the right hand corner marked “More …“. When you click it, you get … more (of course), including a set of “preferences”, Just select the little gear icon and click. The second field allows you to set the Default view. Easy.

Next, I found a couple of quirks, one being that even though there seems to be some printer settings I have had no luck with any printing feature at all. So, you may have to look for other tools for this. Finally, even though the built-in Help is really good, you may need help finding it. The help link up in the right hand pane seems broken. So, instead, use the Help ? link up in the very top center or the one in the More … button. Viola! More easy!

I hope you are enjoying SVC as much as I am. If so, check out the other tips here SVC Tip #1 & SVC Tip #2 & SVC Tip #3, SVC Tip #4 and Tip #5.
