Curiouser and curiouser. I just booted my 2014 MacBook Pro in Mojave. I was
hoping to see good results, but I was disappointed. My experience on Mojave was
identical to my experience on El Capitan. I first tried changing just the day

I think Christopher confirmed earlier that the Transaction Report code is not
considering locale at all.
There’s already a bug on it from 2015:
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752395
Though it seems at that point in time, the report was stuck on Monday instead
of Sunday!

Hi Michael,
Thank you for chiming in. This is very good news. Perhaps I just need to move
further up the OS ladder. I'm currently working with a 2008 MacBook Pro that
cannot run anything beyond El Capitan. However, I do also plan to move my 2014
MacBook Pro to Mojave. If it works correctly for
Hi Adrien,
Thanks for the clarification. I certainly agree that this could be a problem
in GTK. I don't have enough information about GnuCash's inner workings to make
that judgment.
Best,
John

Hi Catscrash,
Thank you for confirming that at least someone can get GnuCash to use Monday
as the first day of the week. Unfortunately, the pictures did not come through,
but I believe you that it is working on your system.

Thanks Fred, so we know it isn’t a 3.6 change. (though I do see the SX Editor
starts on Sunday now instead of Monday, which isn’t consistent with the locale)

Thanks Michael,
That is interesting.
I just changed my Mac to UK, even restarted the computer, still the date picker
shows Sunday as the first day.
Maybe this is a change in Mojave?
Maybe some sort of user profile corruption myself and the OP share?
Anyone out there on Mojave with Monday work

I lived in Singapore for four years and their first day of the week is Monday.
There are other other countries that follow this also, I believe Spain is one
of them.--Regards, Larry

I spoke too soon.
It turns out that GIMP has a date picker when editing meta data.
It also does not honor the first day of week setting in MacOS preferences.
So this is a problem with GTK, not just GnuCash.
The question is then, can a proper locale file be stored by the user to
override the de
But I don’t think GnuCash is doing that. (telling the widget to draw a calendar
with first_weekday set to ‘Monday’) It is calling GtkCalendar() and that widget
doesn’t have a setting for defining the first day. Now, since it seems to work
on Ubuntu as another user reported, maybe the widget is l
Hmm..
Is there anyone using Windows with a Monday first setup that works correctly?
Is this only a problem with GTK on MacOS?

at least for Ubuntu this is definitely not a problem. I don't know if

Hi Frank,
Thank you for thinking about my little problem.
I don't understand why we would assume this is a bug in GTK. If GnuCash tells
GTK to create a calendar with Sundays as the first day of the week, it should
obey. The problem is that some code is not looking at the locale setting on my
Hi Ken,
Thanks for thinking about my little problem. However, I don't see how this
would help. The regular Mac interface gives me the option to change the start
of the week from the locale's default. GnuCash should be reading that change
like all the other date-aware applications. It does not.
From that page it seems that they didn’t provide a means for setting first day
of the week.
A cursory search of how to set first day of the week to Monday using Gnome
(Ubuntu forums) explained to edit the /usr/share/i18n/locales file for your
locale and either edit or add the line:

Hi John,
have a look at https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkCalendar.html
and tell me, the right call.
I didn't see it and fear, you should complain at the GTK team.

John,
Thanks for the insights.
How does first day of the week affect reports in GnuCash? The only report I can
think of that might be an issue is the Expenses/Income vs. Day of the week, but
each day is reported separately, though Sunday is listed first in the key, it
is a pie chart. All other
Hi Adrien,
Thank you for your interest. The first day of the week is, of course, a
personal preference. However, because it is set to Monday everywhere else in my
life, it would be more convenient if GnuCash were set similarly.
Yes, I am aware of System Preferences > Language & Region; that
System Preferences > Language & Region is where you can set first day of the
week. (I’m on Mojave)
But I see it has no effect on the calendar displayed in the Scheduled
Transaction editor. (not sure where else this would matter)
I’d have to ask (because I have Sunday as my first day and I don’t
Hi All,
I've been using GnuCash for several years now, tolerating the bugs and

borne out to some degree, but I'm still waiting on many issues. It's been a
