Here is a part of comment I made to Bilbo1630 superb looking Slider-XP Widget this morning:

"But there is a problem with regional setttings, at least with Vista. In North America, week days in a calendar normally start on Sunday (first column on the left). In my case (Quebec, Canada) your calendar will show today's date as December 1 but will put it under the Friday column (and not, in my case, under the last column which is Saturday). Saturday is displayed correctly (regionnally...) as the last column on the right, but december 1st is shown under Friday (the second column from the right) I am in GMT -5:00 Eastern Time US & Canada. I have seen that with other calendar widgets (but some are correct) and that makes those, unfortunally, unusable.

Hoping a (simple ?) coding correction will make it available all over the globe,"

This was Bilbo's response:

"Hey Frodo..sorry, im tested not just myself, but some others pc..not seen problem with that.
With my vista, europian settings, works correct.
The calendar code come directly from stardock, so im not to reach into ..."


As I said, I have seen that in SOME calendar Widgets but not all. I am using DesktopX runtime only, under Windows Vista Ultimate. I am waiting for version 3.5 (and, probably like you to release it, Vista SP1...) before I upgrade to the Pro version. I think that the "Silica Calendar v1.02" came in bundled with the purchase of the DesktopX runtime and was created by Stardock. That calendar will also show the incorrect "column placing" of dates in a North American regional location, where Sundays start the week on the leftmost column.

Maybe there is a setting somewhere I am not aware of. Hoping this can be corrected in upcomming versions of DesktopX, because, if not, calendars cannot be used if dates do not appear under the appropriate (localised...) day.

Regards.
