Getting StartedDivinum Officium Desktop displays: The first line shows the day's Office (or that which is selected), the second line (if any) is the Office which is commemorated, or the Scripture which is read at Matins that day. In the top line, the title of the liturgical day is shown in a color correlating to the feast, feria, etc. However, vigils and offices of Our Lady are shown in blue; for contrast, feasts which are celebrated in white are given in black, and offices of the dead are shown in grey. In the next line, the widget after the title allows to reset the date. The date selector always appears with the current date, but you may select a different date by pressing
Divinum Officium Mobile offers a slightly simpler interface, without the date selector, but does include the up and down arrows to choose a date. The images in the main table serve only to remind the reader that the Office is collected from the
The eight buttons in blue show the eight hours of the traditional Divine Office; you may select one by clicking on the tab.

Try clicking the Options button to find the following table:  Check or uncheck the Priest box, so you will recite the Dominus vobiscum or the Domine exaudi as appropriate. If you check the Building script box, the program will make a list at the bottom of the page with technical information on how the Office for the specific hour was composed. Language selects the language for the first column. It is possible to display the Office in one modern language only. Select the desired modern language as the option here, and the same language as "Language 2" on the main page. Pius XII Psalter gives the option of using the Pius XII/Augustin Cardinal Bea Latin translation of the psalms. More information on this psalter is available here and here. You may select white or grey background for the tables of the individual hours. The structure of the colors input is: -relative size [bold] [italic] foreground color. If the starting page image extends far beyond the screen, set screen height to a smaller value. Click OK to get to the main table again. If your computer allows cookies, this values and the ones on the bottom row will be saved for the next session. The four selectors on the bottom row allows you to control how the Hours are rendered.

The third selector designates the language in which the Office is displayed in the right-hand column. If a translation is not fully available in a particular language, the second column in the displayed Office will default to English text.

The fourth selector permits a choice from among several votive Offices, such as the Officium Defunctorum or the Officium Parvum of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Within the text:
One can select another date by clicking the day of the month in the first column. Also, you may change the year or month at the top, or the rubrical structure (1570, 1910, etc.) at the bottom of the page.  It is possible to compare rubrical structures by clicking on "Compare", near the date selector on the Officium screen. One can then select two different rubrical structures (e.g. Tridentine 1570 and Reduced 1955) to compare any hour of the Office under each rubrical structure.  It is also possible to compare the Ordo for these two rubrical structures by clicking "Ordo". The top line will display the first rubrical structure and the bottom line will return the second selected rubrical structure. To return from displaying the compared Ordo to the compared Officium, click "Hodie" at the top of the screen. Finally, to return to displaying the Office in one version alone, click "One Version" at the bottom of the screen.
