[FEATURE REQUEST] #12

Thank you for this code. Working well in my HADashboard.

Could you please point me in the right direction as to how I could modify the code to be able to display the Day Of Week Name (eg Monday, Tuesday) etc?

I managed to add a line to show the day number (0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday etc - unless it was showing 0 for today etc.) but it is beyond my skills to get the widget to display the day name. This is not an issue but a feature request.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, the code to update would be here.

I currently only support day and month.

The easiest solution to unblock you would be to have something like this to use the day of the week and have a lookup table to get the name:

DAY_NAMES = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]
day_num = evt_datetime.getDay();
day_name = DAY_NAMES[day_num]

After which you can replace/add/update as needed the whole date string to display what you'd like.

And I'll try to send a commit in the next couple of weeks to add a configuration option to display the day name to make this available to everyone.
