Thanks, been doing a little research, somebody said it was buggy... I would like a larger desktop calendar and analog style clock on my desktop. If anyone has any good ones let me know. The clock on my cairo dock is kinda small.

In your case I would install the famous screenlets!

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:screenlets/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install screenlets


After installation you may find them at applications->accesories -> screenlets


There are various gadjets for your desktop (clocks, sensors, weather applets, calendars etc) which are 100% customizable (size, colour etc) plus you can download a lot more from www.screenlets.org !

No need to install the plexy desk if all you want is applets for your desktop!


P.S.: The above instructions are derived from www.zorin-os.gr !
