anyone know of a good "widget" style program that will display one of my google calendars on my desktop.

something like the below that shows the agenda view

wallpaper web page, though its basically us a web page that covers your desktop.

Are widgets still a thing?

Try One Calendar.

unfortunately i don't think so. with the rise of android, having access to handy info in a widget is really useful. win10 is just so fugly though with what limited apps available.

Not easier to just use outlook or appropriate calendar app/sync google to windows 10?

I use Google calendar fine, however for instance there are 12 entries for tomorrow, and then you have next week all of them, that I can't see one specific calendar so easy. I have the widget on my phone that shows just that one calendar, but i'd ideally prefer one on my desktop so I can't avoid it. In another app hidden away will just as much effort as viewing on Google calendar, and something i will do less than I should.

There used to be rainmeter skins that can link to Google Calendar but I believe Google changed something a few months ago that stops them from working.

Another option if you're using W10, add your Google account to the Calendar app and your events will appear when you press the clock in the notification bar at the bottom right of the desktop.
