• Next Event widget uses icalBuddy to get just today's upcoming calendar events (requires extra configuration)
• Tap on any widget to open its parent app

For the Calendar widget to work properly, it must first be edited to include the names of calendars you wish to display. Replace my personal defaults with yours, and make sure you've installed icalBuddy. You can also configure the widget to display events for additional days, for example for up to a week, by changing "eventsToday" to "eventsToday+7".
