The Lunar calendar widget

The traditional Chinese almanac on an info card — the lunar date, the zodiac year, and what the day favours and warns against. Where it fits, and what it reads in.

Today, by the traditional Chinese almanac: the lunar date written large, the zodiac year beside it, and the day’s favourable and unfavourable activities — the 宜 and 忌 a reception desk gets asked about before a signing or a move.

The widget has none of its own — click it and the editor says so: “This widget uses its standard settings.” Everything it inherits — font size, appearance, background — is the shared settings in Widgets and the places they go.

The almanac itself renders in Chinese whatever the design’s display language — its terms have no translated form.

What this does not control

  • The ordinary date and time. The solar day at a glance is the Clock widget’s Today face.
  • Its size and colour. The design-wide settings above are the only ones it answers to.
