Research direction

Start by locating and reading the generate_header function, especially how it combines the default header and week_header. Add support for custom text before week_header while preserving the existing ordering options, and verify that the generated dashboard header places the custom ASCII art above the week_day header.

Description

I was trying to add my custom ascii art above the week_day header however the current generate_header function only allows concatenating after the default or week_header. Would be nice to have an option to allow custom header before the week_header.
