Overview
Events can have their appearance properties individually modified
from the Appearance tab of the
Event Editor window.
- Custom event appearances will override associated
calendar, category, priority, and location appearances.
- If the Appearance Option has been set to allow
customized appearances for individual events, event
appearances can also be changed by clicking the event in the
Calendar View and then using
the Appearance Toolbar.
- The Appearance tab name will be bold
for events that have custom appearances.
Specifying a Custom Appearance
To specify a custom appearance, select the Appearance tab of the
Event Editor window and click the checkbox. The tab will update
to allow selection of the following custom appearance
attributes:
- Font name/style - These controls allow
the font, size, and style (bold, italic,
underline) to be modified.
The font size values are in points. The bold, italic,
and underline styles can be toggled using the B, I, and U
buttons, respectively.
- Font color - This is the font color.
For this color property as well as the background colors,
you can select either a custom color, web color, or system
color using the appropriate tabs of the drop-down color
control. You can also type in a color, such as
"White". To define a custom color, right click on an
empty color slot at the button of the Custom tab, as shown
below:
This will result in a Color dialog being displayed, where a
custom color can be defined.
- Background colors - These are the
background colors. You can select a primary background
color as well as a secondary color. These will be
blended together using the specified gradient style.
- Gradient style - This is the gradient
style to be used in blending the two background colors.
It also serves as a preview of how the event will appear using the current settings. To
select or preview other gradient styles, click the drop-down
button.
