Make calendar start on Monday

[Nermal]

I'm trying to get the calendar (under Sys Prefs > Date & Time) to display Monday through Sunday. How can I set this up?

Just an update: This is now doable in 10.6, under Sys Prefs > Language & Text > Formats.

I don't think you can, but that's the only place you should see that calendar. iChat lets you choose your preferred first day of the week.

OK, question 2: What's another quick way to see a calendar?

Question 3: What does iChat have to do with anything?

MenuCalendarClock works great for me...


Question 4: What does question 3 have to do with anything?

iCal? Or just use Dashboard and use the iCal Widget. I use that ALL the time for stuff.

Why would you want to use the System Preferences calendar?

Answer to question 4: Please read post #2.

Answer to question 3: I believe he meant to refer to iCal.

Answer to question 2: Quickest way to see a calendar would be on the dashboard. Just look for a calendar widget that you like.

What's wrong with the iCal Widget?

I think he means that he wants the week to start with Monday, instead of default Sunday.

To do that, just simply open iCal, go to its Preferences and take a look at drop down option for "Start week on"

That would work!

Mine does.

I've no idea how to set it up that way.

It's probably because I've got the International Preferences set to the United Kingdom.

Answer to question whatever-number-it-was: Because loading iCal takes too much effort, and I forgot that the dashboard existed

Now that I know it's possible, I'm going to fiddle around with various options to try to replicate whatever OllyW's done.

I have iCal set to launch at startup, and then keep it open. So when I want to open it, it opens instantly.

But yeah, the Dashboard widget is instant access and useful too.
