Mousing over date in the menu's calendar doesn't highlight it

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Binary package hint: indicator-datetime

indicator-datetime 0.1.98-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Natty

1. Open the clock menu.
2. Mouse over any of the dates in the calendar.

What happens: Nothing (apart from bug 740350).
What should happen: The date under the mouse should highlight like a normal menu item.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#Monthly%20calendar>: "All dates shown in the calendar should behave, and look, as normal grid-layout menu items."

It seems that there's no way to do this in GtkCalendar, unless there's a way to do it in the theme I think we're going to have to write a new calendar widget.

This is also the case for implementing a "Week starts on..." preference item.

Lacks support in dbusmenu, so it's an Oniric topic now.

I've created the following bug to group these calendar widget related issues;

"IDO calendar should replace GtkCalendar wrapper with a grid layout menu"

Hi MPT, could you talk a look at this bug, thx!

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

John, I reported this bug and it is already linked to the relevant part of the specification. So, no.

This is a rendering issue in IDO's code, not indicator-datetime.
