We’ve got the kinks worked out of the system plus a few new features thrown in. Add it all up and you get UpcomingBirthdays 1.5.
New features in this release include:
- ability to use different time ranges for missed and upcoming birthdays
- adjustable font size for people who like large and small text
- resizable widget window
- new help page showing how to add birthdays to the widget
Bug fixes include:
- fixed a refresh bug so birthday listing will update each time Dashboard is opened
- fixed a timing bug that would cause birthdays to change at noon instead of midnight
What are you waiting for? Download away. It’s free.
As always, here’s the standard disclaimer:

When the widget download is complete, show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it.

Hi,
you did a great job on UpcomingBirthdays, but there is a tiny glitch related to displaying birthdays correctly arround the change of year.
e.g. a Persons birthday was on Dec. 28th and today is Jan. 3rd the birthday is displayed as upcoming in 359 days instead of had been 6 days ago. It’s vice versa before the change of the year.
Keep up the good work. Best regards, Stephan

Why?
It seems that after installing Leopard the UpcomingBirthdays view box becames out of scale, making the reading of the names and dates rather difficult. Why?

Hi!
I have downloaded today version 1.5.2 of upcoming birthdays – and I see the bug described here already: A person with birthday in January gets announced in December with birthdays 340 days ago or similar.
Cheers
