=== Differences between the ToDo Client and the the ToDo-client Vertical ===

There is no difference between the [[:software:tim:todo-clientsvertical|ToDo-Client Vertical ]] and the normal ToDo-client, when it comes to functionality. The divison of the tow areas is not horizontal here, but vertical, which can be helpful, if used on a widescreen monitor.
