Description

Hello! The calendar displayed usually shows days on the format 1, 2, 3, etc where I would like to change to 01, 02, 03, etc.

The reason for this is because I like the highlighting of days with events from multiple calendars, which is not possible if you only have one single character to highlight.

Is there already such setting, or is it a feature request?

Research direction
The date format for the calendar view is likely controlled in the rendering code. Look for functions that display day numbers in the calendar. Check files such as `khal/ui/calendarwidget.py` or similar. The issue requests padding single digit days with a leading zero. Consider using Python's string formatting like `f'{day:02d}'` or equivalent. No linked PRs or explicit claim, so this is available for contribution.
