Hi! Has anyone figured out how or if it can be done, customize the in-app calendar where events can have different colors based on category? Right now they are all the same color as the theme. ---

For now that option is not available in Glide but maybe you can get that with CSS. ---

I think it was @Jeff_Hager that did a pretty spectacular calendar, correct me if I’m wrong @Jeff_Hager ---

Yes but not a calendar view and i don’t know if he puts some events in differents colors. Morover he adds CSS i think. ---

Would also like to stick with the calendar compoenent if possible. I set up alot of formulas and columns in the back end, so wouldnt want to do those all over again or alter it to a different layout or component. I’m thinking of having column that you can add a category name to, and the event color representative of that. ---

I found some stuff here and I’m playing with this particular one: [https://codepen.io/corvus-007/pen/MzEKyJ](https://codepen.io/corvus-007/pen/MzEKyJ) What I like is that it doesn’t use tables, so it seems like it might be a little cleaner. There’s still the question of how to dynamically build it for each month, so I still need to figure that out. Right now I’m playing with the CSS. Changed a couple of things and had to fix some CSS that wasn’t rendering with glide. Got this so far. ---

Im thinking of something in this format, but different colors for different categories. ![calr](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/e/2e67c14eac526cd8d712a7b258152c4fbf42b0e5.png) ---

Can’t change the color of the events with CSS as any sort of category you define isn’t recognized within the HTML/Styling ---

Yes, each name match matched to a specific emoji and I displayed that. I don’t have it set up anymore so can’t show any screen shots. ---
