Windows Forum / Windows XP / 64-bit / May 2008Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day
Calendar gadget shows Monday as the first day of the week. Is there any workaround so that it shows Sunday instead? Believe it or not, it confuses me a lot (rhyme). :) Carlos According to the description for this third-party calendar gadget, "select mon-sun or sun-sat". http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=d9bda7f3-5381-4924-adfa-430fed6aa 618&bt=1&pl=1 > Calendar gadget shows Monday as the first day of the week. > Is there any workaround so that it shows Sunday instead? > Believe it or not, it confuses me a lot (rhyme). > :) > Carlos Thansk, Colin! > According to the description for this third-party calendar gadget, "select > mon-sun or sun-sat".

In the folder c:\program files\windows sidebar\gadgets\calendar.gadget\en-us\js is a file called calendar.js, if you edit this (you will have to change the permissions/take ownership to do so) and change the line loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()-1; to loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek(); this will change the start day from Sunday to Monday. I've also change the same file in the program files (x86)... folder as well. Seems to work well with no issues so far, remember take a backup first. Hope this helps. > Calendar gadget shows Monday as the first day of the week. > Is there any workaround so that it shows Sunday instead? > Believe it or not, it confuses me a lot (rhyme). > :) > Carlos Andrew, Thanks for the tip. In my case (Vista x64, Spanish MUI, Argentina) I had to set: loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()-2 instead of your recommended loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek() which had caused Tuesday to be the first day of the week!!! :) Carlos > I've been trying to sort this for a while as it is extremely anoying. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > :) > > Carlos Andrew, A small bug in this method. Sunday is now to the left (Ok) Number "6" is highlighted (Ok, because it is Tuestday 6th) On the top row, the single letter that identifies the day of the week is wrong, I have Monday highlighted. In Spanish it is an "l" corresponding to Lunes (Monday in English). So, proper number of the day, wrong name of the day. Any suggestions?

Since I'm not on Vista myself, I cannot (or, I believe I cannot) easily check or verify the bits and pieces, but the US default should make Sunday the first day, I believe. In Scandinavia Monday is definitely the first day and calendar math defines the first day as day '0' - if you introduce calculations containing '-1' and change location too you might actually expect anything, right? 0 -1 = 6 (Saturday, under the US default?) Making changes here may change the number of the day without changing the name too? You may need to analyse what happens when you edit those lines, deep down inside the system something is making recalculations by way of binary-logic to wrap around between values from '0 - 6' and you might need to start off by giving false information and tell a lie?
