Dates widgets

Starting with Elementi 2016, you can find under the "Dates" folder of widget library, eleven ready-to-use widgets that automatically display the current date in various calendars, using the time zone, locale, and date format specified by the user.

Configuration

  • Time Zone
    Select the time zone. Default: Local time (i.e. the time zone set on the HMP / system running Elementi).
  • Locale
    Select the locale to be used for the date and numbers.
  • Format
    Click on the "Edit Text" button (it opens the "Edit Text" dialog) and edit the text template used to display the date / time - you can change the font family, style and color of the text. The default date/time format can be changed as well.
  • Day offset (available only for Islamic date widgets)
    Select a positive or negative day offset to have the desired date.
