Setting the First Day of the Week

Previous

If you have a week day display, the program assumes that Sunday is the first day of the week. The PaperWatch, though, insists that Monday is the start of the week, since Saturday and Sunday are the weekend. To adapt the display, set the weekday hand to a different time zone. So, on Monday we want the hand to point to the null-position, the start of the week. But since internally, the null position is Sunday, we need to shift the time zone 1 day back. Since we can only specify a forward offset, that is 6 days forward. That way, when it is Monday, the hand points to what is internally considered to be Sunday, aka. the null position. Confusing? Just use the following list to determine the timeOffset parameter.
