Hello,
I need to change the working week to start on Sunday, and end on Thursday,
so that Friday and Saturday are days off. When I change this in "Change
Working Time", this has no effect on the calendar itself. I see
Saturdays/Sundays as days off. Is there any way to change also the visual
settings of the calendar to reflect this change. I can set those manually
with non-standard working time, etc. But it's a lot of work for multi-month
projects. I'd like this option to be set as default.

Using "Change Working Time", you can specify the work week you need
(Friday = non-working and Sunday = specific working times).
To visually show these changes in the Gantt Chart, right-click the Gantt
Chart and select Non-Working Time. You can specify the calendar to use
for showing non-working time.

The Task Usage and Resource Usage view however, use the 'Standard'
calendar for showing non-working time. So no option to show non-working
time from a different calendar in those views.

I hope this helps,
Hans

One quick clarification. The display of non-working time in the Task
and Resource Usage views can be changed through Format > Timescale,
Nonworking time tab.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Thank you Julie. Totally forgot about that option... so I was a little
too fast with my response.
