Consolidate Events, cycle through random Google Photos, and more!

DAKboard simplifies calendar views by collapsing the same events from multiple calendars into a single event, leaving it less cluttered! We have recently added an option that allows this feature to be toggled off, such as when seeing each distinct calendars’ color is preferred. To use this toggle, simply edit the calendar configuration settings, and tick or untick the “Consolidate Events” option in the “Extra Info” checkboxes.

Random Albums from Google Photos

The Google Photos block rotates through random photos from a Google Photos account. Existing options on this block allow inclusion of specific albums, or limit to only those marked as “Favorites”. Now there is a new option that will cycle through all albums in the Google Photos account, without having to choose them individually. Another benefit of this option is that it will dynamically include new albums as they are created, avoiding the need to come back and edit the block each time!
