A user pointed out that the features of the moon in my display didn’t match the actual moon, and he was right! Somewhere along the way I rotated my moon image and messed that up. It still showed the correct phase, but if you wanted to know which parts were visible and which weren’t it was wrong. Here’s 3.2.1 which corrects that problem!

Release Notes
DRAGGING THE GADGET: To move the gadget you must use Microsoft’s drag pad for the gadget, which appears when you hover over the gadget. I don’t know why, but having a flyout on the gadget (the calendar) disables dragging. I’ll keep looking for a solution, but I don’t know how to work around this yet. On user suggested using a double-click instead and that does work, but I don’t like the idea of adding a click to something common like opening the calendar in exchange for making something uncommon like dragging slightly easier. The Calendar gadget that comes with Windows seems to be able to handle both clicks and drags, so I’m going to examine that sometime to see how it’s supposed to be done.
