Check the new beta and post a screenshot. I'm curious to see whether my new approach worked...

[yusef88]

the good thing: it has full day names
the bad:letters are overlapping

[yusef88]

maybe not related to the topic but could Saturday be the first day in week?

Hm, it should have been the abbreviated day names. Are there abbreviated day names in Arabic?

No, I'm afraid not. (OK, not easily.)

I guess no but windows clock use the first letter of day name

When asking for the date picker - the one provided in FindFiles - I was inspired by other file managers. They all use the same picker - probably the Windows date picker - so there doesn't seem to be a license problem.

Couldn't XY do the same? Call up the built-in Windows date picker? This would take care of everything - correct locale, desired first day of week as set up in Windows settings, and most likely also the same abbreviation style seen on Yusef's screenshot.

As you can see, they all pop up the same picker - freeware and payware alike - and both use Monday as the first day of the week - whereas XY sticks to Sunday

Thanks for the tip, but I find mine better. Yes, it would solve the abbreviation problem, but it would create new problems that I would have no chance to solve because it's not my code. I hate these Windows dependencies. Yes, I took Choose Font and Choose Color from Windows, but the general line in XY whenever possible: native code.

I will find a solution for Arabic, and I will see whether I can make the start day configurable. Also might add grey days for neighboring months.

Maybe you could read in the first day of month from Windows settings. I imagine more people may find this useful.
BTW, with the latest version I also suffer from ovelapping day names.

Got a screenshot?

Well, not exactly overlapping, but crammed together into a very tight space:

Thanks, I'll make it wider.
