  • Executable: bikram-calendar

  • click on the widget to open the calendar. Right click to open the options menu.

  • Wayland Support & Limitations:-

    Due to the security design and protocols of the Wayland display server, some features behave differently:

    Window Position: The application cannot query window coordinates on Wayland, so it cannot save or restore the position of the widget or calendar window. However, the window size is saved and restored correctly.

  • If you want to open the program using xwayland, you can:

    Option 1:
    Launch the program from the terminal by

    QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /usr/bin/bikram-calendar
    

    Option 2:
    Copy the desktop file from /usr/share/applications/nepdate.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/nepdate.desktop then Edit the desktop file and replace the Exec=/usr/bin/bikram-calendar with

    Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /usr/bin/bikram-calendar
    

    Note:
    - You also need to do this to the autostart file in ~/.config/autostart/Nepali Calendar Widget.desktop if you enabled autostart.
    - The file ~/.local/share/nepdate-calendar.desktop exists so the calendar can use proper icon to display. This file gets override every time the widget launches. NoDisplay=true line from the file makes sure to not show this file in the applicaion menu. so you can just ignore this file.
