    This might be a small thing, but since the date shows whenever using Home-screen, it's kinda annoying :p

    Eg. (norwegian- format <DAY> <DD><MONTH>)

    Tirsdag 7.November

    Whats wrong?
    1. No space between "7." and "November"
    2. In norway (and most european contries?), it would be correct to display the month without the capital letter. Possible workaround is an optin to have all letters capital.

    Result should be:

    Tirsdag 7. november

    or

    TIRSDAG 7. NOVEMBER

    :D

    Greetings!

    Both the issues that you are mentioning can be fixed by some minor modifications.

    1) You can change the date format in the configuration section for the “Home plugin” and add spaces or change the order of the date etc. the way you wish it to look. <Day> <DD>. <Month>

    2) In MP Folder/Language: Open up the file strings.xml for your specified language with notepad and edit the capital letters for the months (ex. January --> january or JANUARY etc. also do the same for the weekdays if you wish. Save that file and reload MP after you're done.

    Cheers!

    the month name should start with a capital letter

    ie.. November and NOT november.

    certainly in the UK this is the case

    Both a bit right I'd say...

    not ALL languages have the names of the months (or days) start with capitals..
    Same in dutch for example... no capitals.

    Well, as I say: In Norway and most probably (99% sure) in Sweden and Denmark (just about same language)

    Dr.Milli: Thanks. # 1 was an obvious thing... don't know how I missed that one :D
