</div>If you want to change it to your country, just change your country in<br>
the locale (you have to restart plasma for the changes to take<br>
effect). If you want something other than your locale country,<br>
right-click on the clock -> Digital Clock Settings -> Calender. There<br>
you can enable or disable as many holidays as you want.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I see what you mean. Sadly this functionality seems to be broken? I can't select/change/delete any holiday that's in there. I even turned "display events" off. That results in.. events/holidays being displayed. Seems like the display events checkbox isn't honored.</div>

</div>There is already a holidays API, and people already can and do submit<br>
holidays for different countries to KDE.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Please do tell more. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>Korganizer can already use the API. Go to Settings -> Configure<br>
Korganizer -> Time and Date -> Regional -> Use Holiday Region. It<br>
doesn't appear to use your country by default, though.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>ehh, oke. It "kinda" works but work is definitively needed to make KOrganizer be intuitive. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
