wmbday is a Window Maker dock app for Linux und FreeBSD that will remind you of birthdays. It can show up to four names of persons whose birthday is next. On a particular birthday it will notify you by highlighting the concerning person. Background colour, as well as normal and highlighted font colour can be changed. The data is loaded either from a simple text file or from a vCard file. Samples of both file types can be found in the archive.
