Calendar time - capitalize first letters

[yo-less]

Currently the calendar times are only partly capitalized, some time phrases start with lower-case letters, some don’t
(The ones pulled from the ‘translations’ folder start with upper-case letters):

I have changed this behavior in my calendar.js to create a more standardized layout:

Also, I have sent a pull request to have my changes merged into the development branch,
so if you’d like to comment on this modification, feel free to do so :)

I have found another detail that bothered me. If the calendar is set to ‘relative, 6 hours before an event occurs the calendar would start showing the time in relative terms (for example: “In 5 hours” - but then it would stay that way until it would switch to “In 4 hours” an hour later, which is pretty confusing as far as I’m concerned. If I’'m not mistaken, it stays pretty vague until 45 minutes before the event when the countdown truly starts).

I found this behavior rather counter-intuitive, as I might want to check the mirror to find out the exact time when an event starts. This is why I have introduced a tag getRelative, which can take any value between 0 and 48 hours. So if a user configures their calendar like this:

modules: [
...
    {
        module: 'calendar',
        position: 'top_left',   
        config: {
               getRelative: 0.5
          }
        }
    },
...

their events start getting relative half an hour before the event (“In 30 minutes”), if they decide they don’t like relative times at all, they can set it like this: getRelative: 0. This way, it is easier for users to customize the calendar’s relative behavior to their needs.

This is now included in my pull request.

On a related note: Can anybody tell me why there is a timeFormat: absolute option? I set my calendar to absolute but didn’t notice any difference.

@yo-less About that last part (getRelative). You might want to add info about it to the calendar readme.

@MichMich I agree with you, which is why you have merged what I have done already :D

@yo-less I want to do the same, what have you done so I can try to do the same on mine?
Thanks
