How to customize calendar in Ubuntu

[nuclearj]

I want my computer to display the date and the calendar in a different format using the mayan calendar. How would I go about programing my computer to do that? I did program a python program that will decode the date entered by the user. But I have no direction to go in now. Thanks for the help!

that's an interesting one. I would say to look at gDesklets for creating your own, since you are familiar with Python. For a GNOME calendar, you can create your own calendar applet. If you need help with that, gnome channels on irc.gimp.org are great. that and I know some people around this forum should give you some good links about writing applets for GNOME.

@OP there are source codes available on the web. You can take reference from them and code your own in your favourite language

Thanks! My ultimate goal is to have the calendar be a selection/option on my Time and Date settings. And i checked out gDesklets, which I will play with some more. But to accomplish my goal it looks like the the GNOME route.
