Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my country the week starts with Mondays, but the calendar starts with Sundays

Describe the solution you'd like
An Option to select a custom Day to start the week with.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Option to start week with Mondays or Saturdays instead, as currently no region starts weeks with other days https://vividmaps.com/first-day-of-week-in-different-countries/

The locale config option should do what you're after here (works here as Monday is first for me too). Let me know if you still have any problems.

@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (May 13, 2024): The `locale` [config option](https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/wiki/clock#configuration) should do what you're after here (works here as Monday is first for me too). Let me know if you still have any problems.

Apologies, the above is incorrect. The locale option only controls date formatting. For the calendar, you need to ensure your LC_TIME environment variable is setup correctly.
