Currently Orage has a "Select today" menu item, which is certainly helpful in finding "today". Unfortunately as soon as selection is moved to some other day, it can become difficult to visually spot "today". I would suggest that in the calendar window, which pops up when orageclock is clicked upon, "today" be always formatted in a visually distinctive manner (say, bold or underline, or different colour) so that the user can easily spot the current day (or month).
The problem with this is that Orage uses standard GtkCalendar widget and that only supports gtk_calendar_mark_day, which is already used to show event days. It would be fun to use colours etc, but that means I need to recode the main calendar instead of using GtkCalendar. Need to think what is posisble.
So maybe a feature request at bugzilla.gnome.org is the way to go.
Although I would like to make this (and also add public holidays as Red etc...) I will not code GtkCalendar for this. So maybe indeed an enhancement against gtk would help. Sorry, but I have to turn this down as it would be too much work. Orage can show "today" after you click orage clock panel pluging or the systray icon first to hide the windown and then again to make it visible. If you have defined Orage to always show today, then it is only two clicks away.
