Topic: System Announcements / NEW FEATURE: Milestone calendar date picker (UPDATED) I’m afraid I agree with those who find the inconsistent start day for the week quite confusing. Ideally the calendar view should be localizable to Sun…Sat or Mon…Sun as Helgeh suggests, but even if you decide for simplicity’s sake to settle on the American or European standard, it should be consistent across all views. People are accustomed to taking in a tabular calendar at a glance and to use different conventions within the same system is a usability no-no. At best it requires users to stop and think, at worst it causes them to make mistakes and miss deadlines. (On the other hand I don’t think it’s a problem that the two calendars use different fonts and colors. I didn’t even notice.) |
