Found Roland's French version of Text Calendar on GitHub and changed
it to English.
Many thanks to Roland for that handy Lazarus source on GitHub.

Happy New Year to All.


PS: Fixed a few small conversion entries

Thank you for the translation. 

I believe you found the program here?

To set Monday as first day of the week, change the following line in
the INI file:

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
mondayfirst=0
Or change the default value of the variable in calendar.pas:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i var 
LMondayFirst: boolean = FALSE;

Thanks Roland for helping out.
Yes that is where I found it, while looking for your ball collisions
project.

For the Monday set first fix:
I tried both of your suggestions but I  kept getting Sunday first.

Then I tried this in the Text Calendar.ini and it worked.

[options]
mondayfirst=1
colcount=6

Thanks Roland for making the program.

PS I missed a few little conversion errors, so here is an update for
English version.

@Boleeman

I pushed your translation. Thank you.

And thank you also for the nice screenshots. Out of curiosity, how did
you make the beveled picture?

Thank you Roland for making such a handy program available. I thought
being the New Year people here might enjoy making their own calendars
for the New Year (hopefully you did not mind me translating it?).
Normally I would rely on free calendars from local shops, but now I
can make my own.

The bevels were made with my own bevel maker (I will attach it below).
I checked the darken checkbox when I used it to darken the edges (If
you have a black canvas then you need to lighten)

I print screened your calendar and pasted in MSPaint.
Then used a Lazarus image viewer (Lazzy attached below) program to
sharpen the text.
(Lazzy also has some good filters: blur effects, emboss, edges as well
as sharpen)
I beveled the edges with my bevel program and used MS Paint3D to apply
the colour and lighting and saved with transparency..
Lastly I used Lazzy to swap the colour channels to make different
colours.

The end calendar result was quite amazingly clear. 

Bonjour Roland.

My surname BOLE comes from the French word of a ring that forms when a
branch of a tree is cut so I have some French genes from many years
(great Grandfather). My father and grandfather both worked with wood!
