Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

[Guest Carlos]

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).

According to the description for this third-party calendar gadget, "select

mon-sun or sun-sat".

Charlie,

I guess it will depend on Vista localization (country, language)?

Not seeing any way to change that, however, in the language section.

RE: Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

 

I've been trying to sort this for a while as it is extremely anoying.

 

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.

RE: Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

 

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!!!

:)

Re: Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

 

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?

Carlos

Re: Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

 

Carlos, I didn't see this thread until now, if it is still open, I would

like to contribute that Andrew's method may be wrong for you because of the

different locations? 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?

 

(a white one!)

 

 

Tony. . .
