Simple nice calendar module that displays the materials by date. Date can be selected from node creation time or from date field (Date module required). This module creates new block "Calendar" and new pages "/calendar/YYYY/MM/DD" to display all nodes per day.
The Select with Style project download contains two modules containing three styleable widgets:
Slide with Style, contains a field widget to enter numbers or list values via sliders when creating content and also to filter by these fields in Views, including double-handled range sliders.
Select with Style, comprises two widgets to enter taxonomy fields, in particular hierarchical taxonomies, when creating content and also to filter by these taxonomy fields in Views
These are light-weight solutions that have no external dependencies. No external libraries are required. Only minimum configuration, no permissions, no coding. Just style!
