Desktop calendar:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6x7aGKr7ZY-S1lVaENJaEtMTDA
This program crreates a bitmap image (the size of a bitmap is equal to your screen resolution) and draws a calendar for three months: previous, current and next. Then it sets this image as a desktop wallpaper. If you put this program in your start up folder (for Windows 8 it is in C:\Users\<User Profile folder name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) or create a task for it in Scheduler (http://www.isunshare.com/windows-8/open-windows-8-8.1-task-scheduler.html), then you will always have relevant calendar on your desktop.
The program is a console application, i.e. it is run in command prompt. The only settings available for a user is a color scheme, which defines three colors: background, foreground and weekday color. If you run the program without any command line argumants you will get a default color scheme (see below). If you want to define your own color scheme, pass three values as a command line arguments. These values should be .Net valid color names from this list: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.color(v=vs.110).aspx or decimal RGB values (you can explore those with my other program - ReviewColors). Here are some examples:
C:\SOFT\My\DesktopCalendar>desktopcalendar gray white red
C:\SOFT\My\DesktopCalendar>desktopcalendar -5952982 -16777077 -32944
C:\SOFT\My\DesktopCalendar>desktopcalendar
If you want to create autostart from this program, rightclick on it and select "Create link" from the context menu. Then open the link's propertis and in the Object field after the full path to the executable add a space followed by the three color values as decribed above. Then you put this link in your StartUp folder as described above.
This is what the result looks like (default color scheme):
Important note: the output depends on your computer's culture settings, e.g. the calendar on the picture is created for Russian settings. Culture affects months' names, weekday names and first day of week (Monday for Russian culture, Sunday for some other cultures).
