Prayers Gadget is a sidebar gadget that displays Islamic prayer times, Qibla direction, Hijri calendar, and special Islamic events. Azan sound is played at each prayer time along with a customizable reminder before Azan.
The Gadget has an offline database of 2,000+ cities worldwide, and if an Internet connection is available at install time, the Gadget can automatically detect the user's location using a larger database of 290,000+ cities worldwide.
The prayer time calculator is highly configurable allowing for multiple calculation and fine tuning methods. The Gadget can also read a prepared prayer timetable from a CSV file. In addition, the prayer times are displayed in different views to suite everybody's taste: docked and undocked mode. The calendar can be switched between Hijri and Gregorian modes.
