Just a few nits, looks good overall though :)
What's the use case for this? I don't think that the calendar widget integrates with the systems calendar to display events and such, so is it just for viewing the dates/week number?
Could you also provide a screenshot of how it looks with the day and date labels visible?

We should set these through CSS so that it's user configurable

Set the string argument to null instead of an empty string

| day_label.set_halign (Gtk.Align.START); | ||

Might wanna use .calendar-widget instead
Thanks for reviewing!
As another user wrote on the issue, if you use waybar the calendar widget is pretty bad. This is just a replacement for that and for when you want to quickly look at a date or day.
I actually went back to a previous version cause I was experiencing a bug on the latest where floating notification backgrounds are randomly not rendering correctly. I will get a screenshot once I solve that and upgrade again to my fork. |

This is good enough for me to use on my fork, but I don't have enough Vala or CSS knowledge to go any further.
Going to leave it here in case anyone wants to clean it up or offer some tips.
I think there is probably room for improvement with getting the GTK Calendar widget CSS to be accessible.
