cinnamon calendar applet replace No Events button into a New Event button and show it permanently

[ErwinBaeyens]

Hello,

I really like to use the calendar applet but when you already have events on a day it is cumbersome to add them from the applet.
I think that it can be appreciated to have the "No Events" button to show permanently and change the text label into "New Event"

I managed to do just that by editing the following lines in eventView.js:
On line 695 change
text: _("No Events"),
into
text: _("New Event"),

And comment out lines 790 and 791:

        // this.no_events_box.hide();                                                                                          
       // this._current_event_data_list_timestamp = event_data_list.timestamp; 

It would be nice to accept these changes
Regards,
Erwin

Clicking the selected data should do the same thing (for this very reason):

It doesn't 'react' like a button, unfortunately, but behaves as one.

never knew that. and I use it for at least 2 years, if not longer since it got the ability to connect to google calendar.
Still think it is a valuable change.
or make the date look like a button so that it advertises that capability.
BTW this is what it looks like:
