# Class `awful.widget.calendar_popup`

A calendar popup wibox

Display a month or year calendar popup using calendar_popup.month or calendar_popup.year.

The calendar style can be tweaked by providing tables of style properties at creation: `style_year`, `style_month`, `style_yearheader`, `style_header`, `style_weekday`, `style_weeknumber`, `style_normal`, `style_focus` (see cell_properties).

The wibox accepts arguments for the calendar widget: `font`, `spacing`, `week_numbers`, `start_sunday`, `long_weekdays`. It also accepts the extra arguments `opacity`, `bg`, screen and `position`. `opacity` and `bg` apply to the wibox itself, they are mainly useful to manage opacity by setting `opacity` for the false opacity or setting `bg="#00000000"` for compositor opacity. The screen argument forces the display of the wibox to this screen (instead of the focused screen by default). The `position` argument is a two-characters string describing the screen alignment "[vertical][horizontal]", e.g. "cc", "tr", "bl", ...

The wibox visibility can be changed calling the toggle method. The attach method adds mouse bindings to an existing widget in order to toggle the display of the wibox.
