How to change weekends red color in QCalendarWidget?

[Dimon]

Hi all!

Is there any way to change red color of weekeneds (Sunday, Saturday) in the QCalandarWidget to some another color? Of cause, I can override PaintCell() and draw the according dates myself, but it does not help to customize color of the short day names ("Sat" and "Sun") in the horizontal header. I noticed, that Qt always set the QCalendarDelegate's Qt::ForegroundRole value as a Palette::Text every time, it needs to use a red color for drawing. But QCalendarDelegate, used by Qt inside QCalendarWidget, is hidden from the user and I don't know how to access and customize it. Is there any solution from this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can change the color of the days in a QCaelndarWidget so:

QTextCharFormat format = calendarWidget->weekdayTextFormat(Qt::Saturday);
    format.setForeground(QBrush(Qt::white, Qt::SolidPattern));
 
   calendarWidget->setWeekdayTextFormat(Qt::Saturday, format);

QTextCharFormat format = calendarWidget->weekdayTextFormat(Qt::Saturday);
    format.setForeground(QBrush(Qt::white, Qt::SolidPattern));

   calendarWidget->setWeekdayTextFormat(Qt::Saturday, format);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

First i take the existing format for the specified week day, then i set a different brush and set the modified format back to the needed day. This modifies the name of the day and also the date.

Hope it helps you.
