### Days

This sub-pane is shown below.
The icons in this sub-pane are the subject of much disabling/enabling action as the calendar format is changed: some of its text labels are also changed.
In several formats the days of the week are shown in a single row or column of boxes adjacent to the date area. This row/column always has its width/height (respectively) necessarily set to the width/height of its associated date area, but its other dimension is user-changeable - as is the vertical/horizontal separation of the row/column from the date area. Thus, the top framed area of this sub-pane controls the free dimension of the row/column and its separation.
The bottom framed area concerns the font/size of the days text and how it is placed in the days boxes - exactly similar to the date text controls described earlier.
The middle framed section has three radio icons (with immediate effect) for choosing the form in which the days text will appear e.g. either as “Monday” or “Mon” or “M” (if the supplied English is used).
In Format 10, where the days appear in single row, there may be no choice but to use one of the shortened forms of day text because the width of the days boxes is set by the date area size. A similar, but less stringent, factor may occur with the single column of days in Format 7.
