Hello Sailors,

i'm a little bit confused with the current format of the calendar notification.
They give actually not the complete date of it, and bring me to confusion.
And i could represent myself that it could disturb other people.

For example yesterday i had a notification about an event which happened on Tuesday of next week.
But with the current presentation with the format "HH:mm+day" (only) thought that could be imminent .

That's clear that if we pull on it we could have some details.
But for having an efficient overview between all the event in notification area, a huge plus would be to have the day number and the month number too.

A suggestion would be to have the following format :
08:00
Ma 28.10

With days short-cut from each languages:
for example Lu Ma Me Je Ve Sa di in french
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su in English
etc...

This small details may give a more efficient experience i think.

Still the same on v3.0.1. v3.3.0.16
Suggestions here under are interesting too
Other idea would be with time &day + day-number
From Edz feedback the time & days remaining, or time & Day & month-shortcut.

Edit 01-06-2020:
Please sailors who are interested having a vote on the format.
How could be the event info be displayed on the notification/event screen

cheers

Yes, as is your idea.

For those who do not mind 'tinkered solutions';

File to edit: /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Calendar/CalendarWidgetDelegate.qml

Line to edit: 57

from: Format.formatDate(startTime, Formatter.WeekdayNameStandalone)

to: Format.formatDate(startTime, Formatter.DurationElapsed)

Lipstick must be restarted for changes to take effect (systemctl --user restart lipstick.service)

Isnt this a duplicate of what has been discussed over there:

https://together.jolla.com/question/168524/calendar-widget-needs-to-be-fixed/

(Not sure where to put the question mark in this construct)
