Thanks for the report.

Which calendar icon do you have in mind?

top - kde 4; bottom - kde 5

The attachment shows the icon; it’s displayed on the panel (when a calendar is there).

Ah right. We never actually considered using the calendar applet like that, more like putting it on the desktop as the same calendar popup is with the clock applet.

But I guess it could be made more useful...

I am affected by this, too. It would be nice if the calendar applet also shows the number of the week.

top = KDE 4 and bottom = KDE 5

I would go further than what the screenshot describes (namely that the calendar icon should display the week number) and support that the *whole calendar* browsing should display the week number for each row (this is very useful when setting up a meeting).

See latest screenshot of how the 2 versions of calendar are presented
(top for KDE4 and bottom for KDE5)

> the *whole calendar* browsing should display the week number for each row 

This is already done in Plasma 5.4.

I had a look at this just now but given how horrible JS Date() is I have no idea how to make this work properly without 1.) adding a C++ plugin or 2.) making a horrible JS hack. Other than that my patch works, you can even choose between having the day of month or week of year shown.

The Calendar applet already should have the C++ backend no?
Maybe we could make the week number available on the top-level
item of the Calendar and then just reuse in the compact representation?

[Calendar Applet] Show day or week number in icon

Rather than showing the generic calendar icon the day number is shown there instead.
There is also an option to have it show the week number instead.
