This is a good one - choice of skins or transparent

Have not tried this one, but it looks real good

I'm not sure, haven't played around with it too much. If you get Sideshow you can have a calendar and set appointments-reminders and watch traffic cams and other stuff.

You probably already found this- maybe not - this is from Rainy's site:

Event
The event text can be shown in a tooltip when the mouse goes over an event day. Also a messagebox can be shown when Rainlendar is started on a day that has an event or when the day changes to a event day. Any command (or !Bang) can be executed on an event day (Leave the textbox empty if you don't want to execute anything). You can use %m to insert the event text in the command.
