The Calendar System feature back in KDE Version 4
With »KDE4« and »Plasma4« the Calendar System could be easily switched within
the settings of the Clock Combined Calendar Widgets: Gregorian, Hebrew,
Mohammedian, Indian, Chinese, Julian, Japanese, etc.
For each of several Clock Combined Calendar Widgets, any Calendar System could
be set, which could be used in the same Panel or on the same Virtual Desktop
side by side.
See screenshots.
Since »Plasma« Version 5 the Configuration and Integration of the Module »Date
and Time« into the »Plasma« Desktop Environment has changed, along with the
»Plasma« Clock Combined Calendar Widgets.
>From »Plasma« Desktop Environment Version 5 on there is no option anymore to
use any alternate Calender System at all, if not by Installing a Localized
Edition of a Distribution, apparently and probably so in »OpenSuse« and
»Knoppix«.
Considering the settings with the KDE3 Fork Desktop Environment Trinity, the
Calendar System was already switchable with Version 3 of KDE.
Why was the old code abandoned?
There are recently calls and efforts to rewrite this feature, notably for an
integration of Arabic Calendars:
