WD Blue 500GB and Logitech B100 mouse for Laptop

-
Finally I got fed up with my slow laptop and since the memory thing did not work out, I was feeling desperate. So I decided to byte the bullet and spend couple of thousand more rupees and ordered a hard-disk and a mouse from Amazon. 
In couple of days got them too. I was going to be out of town for weekend, so I quickly put it all together and then put Ubuntu Mate 17.10 on it. 
Then watched couple of episodes of a tv show and did bit of web browsing. And I can say it all has been working great. The new hard disk is plenty fast. The Logitech mouse is serviceable. The pointer a bit once in a while but otherwise it's fine.
This has greatly improved the usability of my age old laptop.

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");
