    I want the calendar to display the exact day of the event(birthdays), instead of saying “in 3 days” or “The day after tomorrow” since it takes up too much of space.
    I tried changing it in the main config file & the calendar.js file (both), but no change is reflected.

      @qqqqqqqq can you post your config?

      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

        Here is my main config file

        {
        			module: 'calendar',
        			header: 'Your Calendar',
        			position: 'top_left',
        			config: {
        				timeformat: 'absolute',
        				calendars: [
        					{
        						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
        						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....ics'
        					},
        					{
        						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
        						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....ics'
        					},
        					{
        						symbol: 'facebook-official ',
        						url: 'webcal://localhost:8080/modules/Cals/FbBirthday.ics'
        
        					},
        					{
        						symbol: 'calendar ',
        						url: 'webcal://calendar.google.com/c.....ics'
        					}
        				]
        			}
        		},
        		{
        			module: 'compliments',

          You should also set urgency to 0

            Please try to write timeFormat instead of timeformat, this is case sensitive :)
            Also try to play around with urgency

              Okay, made both the changes, fixed the case in “timeFormat” and added

              urgency: '0',
              

              right next to the timeFormat tag.

              But, now the events appear like this

              event 1 The day after tomorrow
              event 2 Feb 19th
              event 3 Feb 21st

              Still need to fix event 1

                Please replace '0' with 0

                Numbers should not be written with quotation marks

                  Nope, still the same.

                  Btw, i should let you know that I am start the MagicMirror by using the command

                  npm start
                  

                  Should I be using some other method to start it? Do I need to clear cache or something like that? :slight_frown:

                    @qqqqqqqq
                    Starting your mirror for testing purpose is just fine.

                    Please try this:

                    ...
                    	config: {
                    		timeFormat: 'absolute',
                    		urgency: 0,
                    		getRelative: 0,
                    		calendars: [
                    ...

                      I’ve updated the values in both, the main config file & the calendar.js (in the modules folder) but it’s still the same.

                      Here is the image. http://pasteboard.co/z6KcmVgLB.jpg
