[GNC] First Day of the Week

[John Morris]

Hi Adrien,
  Thanks for the clarification. I certainly agree that this could be a problem in GTK. I don't have enough information about GnuCash's inner workings to make that judgment.

Best,
John

(telling the widget to draw a calendar with first_weekday set to ‘Monday’) It is calling GtkCalendar() and that widget doesn’t have a setting for defining the first day. Now, since it seems to work on Ubuntu as another user reported, maybe the widget is looking at the system locale, but something on MacOS is preventing that. (or it isn’t even aware of the locale since it might have its own default)
