I don't know tbh! lol
I just don't understand why Monday=1...Sunday=7 and Sunday=0...Saturday=6, so Monday=1 in both cases? :lol:
I honestly never understood the purpose of starting a week on a Sunday anyway? It's the seventh day of the week, the weekend, the last day of creation, if you believe such things. Either way, it's at the end, so why start the week with it?

One minute, I think about the display of the week dates, and I get it, but then I think again and it really makes no sense to me!
Displaying a week of dates that starts depending what day you use as reference makes sense, you start with Monday, then the minus one shifts the displayed dates back one so the dates line up with the day shown above it. Makes sense.

But when you think about it, here's where I'm overthinking it probably, it's just a number, why does it do that anyway? Pick a date, have a meter show that date, next meter shows next date, etc, for a week. Which is what this skin is doing. I don't really understand how the skin is getting that it shows a week and has to start with a Sunday? Where is that info obtained from? That's where I'm getting lost with it.

To me, it's a simple counter that resets when the month end is reached, from which it resets, but maybe there's more to it than I see. I suppose the original source for the Time measure says that it starts at Sunday? But then I'm back to my thought about, if I show a single days' date then it makes no difference which day of the week it is, it just shows it. If you added a second meter to display tomorrows date, it would display this too. Now do this for each of the week days, there's no real reason why you couldn't start the week on a wednesday if you wanted.

Do you see what I mean?
