Calendar week start from sunday

[Gigas002]

How can I change it to monday? I've tried changing the weeks value in config, as described in wiki:

"format": {
    "months": "<span color='#ffead3'><b>{}</b></span>",
    "weekdays": "<span color='#ffcc66'><b>{}</b></span>",
    "weeks": "<span color='#99ffdd'><b>{:%W}</b></span>",
    "today": "<span color='#ff6699'><b>{}</b></span>"
}

or

 "weeks": "{:%W}",

or as in example on the same wiki page:

"weeks": "<span color='#99ffdd'><b>W{}</b></span>",

I also tried setting locale (yes, I checked if it's installed) and running waybar, as explained in #2235 :

LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" waybar

But this also didn't help

Looks like your LC_TIME is still set to en_US.

Try to run sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 (or manually edit /etc/locale.conf) then restart your session.

[Gigas002]

Hmm. Running locale soon after that doesn't show any changes. Rebooting also doesn't change anything, I still have LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8 in output

[ordy]

Now I see it, in your locale you set your LC_ALL to LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 that one will override any other LC_* variables. So edit the file in /etc/locale.conf and change it to just LC_ALL= (and LC_TIME to en_GB.UTF-8) then reload your session.

(and make sure your don't export LC_ALL at some point in your shell file).

[Gigas002]

Thank you! Finally managed to fix this. I was setting LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 in my .zshrc

[oscarpax]

If you only wanted to change LC_TIME in waybar clock/calendar, you could use locale option in waybar Clock module.

    "clock": {
        "format": "{:%H:%M}  ",
        "format-alt": "{:%A, %B %d, %Y (%R)}  ",
        "tooltip-format": "<tt><small>{calendar}</small></tt>",
        "locale": "en_DK.UTF-8",
        "calendar": {
                    "mode"          : "year",
                    "mode-mon-col"  : 3,
                    "weeks-pos"     : "right",
                    "on-scroll"     : 1,
                    "on-click-right": "mode",
                    "format": {
                              "months":     "<span color='#ffead3'><b>{}</b></span>",
                              "days":       "<span color='#ecc6d9'><b>{}</b></span>",
                              "weeks":      "<span color='#99ffdd'><b>U{}</b></span>",
                              "weekdays":   "<span color='#ffcc66'><b>{}</b></span>",
                              "today":      "<span color='#ff6699'><b><u>{}</u></b></span>"
                              }
                    },
        "actions":  {
                    "on-click-right": "mode",
                    "on-click-forward": "tz_up",
                    "on-click-backward": "tz_down",
                    "on-scroll-up": "shift_up",
                    "on-scroll-down": "shift_down"
                    }
    },

[Gigas002]

That doesn't help me, unfortunately. With locale set in config, I've got an empty rectangle now instead of calendar:

[oscarpax]

Hmm.. I have en_DK.UTF-8 set for LC_TIME in /etc/locale.conf because I want it to be system-wide. I still have to have it in waybar config as well. Try following @ordy suggestion, as well as have locale set in waybar config for clock/calendar.
