Links, mouseover popup and language questions

I've downloaded and installed the trial version and am now trying to tweak it to see if it can serve for the purpose I have in mind. So far, it looks pretty good, but I ran into three issues for which I haven't found answers on the forums.

1) I use the calendar with a sticky mouseover in a Wordpress sidebar. While the X shows up to close the popup, you only have to mouseover the X to close the popup. Is it possible to have it clickable to close instead, as it gets quite annoying if your cursor happens to pass over it.

2) With the trial version, enabling HTML in details lets me include links in details, BUT those links do now show up in the mouseover popup. Instead, you have to click the (more) link to bring up another popup which includes the hyperlink AND if you use a target="_blank", it appears in the second popup itself. What I am looking for is to have the hyperlink show up in the mouseover popup, not an extra step to bring a second popup before getting the link.

3) I switched the language to utf-8, which makes the accented characters appear properly in the displayed calendar, BUT it messes up all the accented characters in the Easy PHP Calendar management screen itself.

Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

1) no, the files that generate the code that make up the popup are encrypted and not user modifiable

2) you need to increase the character limit for the popup. What happens is that if your description exceeds that limit, all HTML is stripped from the description to make sure that nothing would get cut half-way through.

3) I really don't know what to say about this one. Have you tried to fix the characters directly in the language file? It's possible that the encoding of the file is not UTF-8 which might cause a weird conversion.

Thanks for the quick reply. I can live with 1), fixed 2), and 3) will take a bit more digging. The language file is a php file and seems ok, but I'm not familiar with the language files being handled that way. I'm more familiar with the .mo and .po files, as handled by Poedit.
