Desktop Calendar (Full/Mini)

• If both Desktop Calendar options are unchecked, the desktop calendar will be hidden.

Color Events Using...

• Events can be colored based on the current tab in the Calendar Items area, associated calendar, category, priority, or event location.
• This menu option enables selection of how events should be colored in the Calendar View, Event List, Popup Reminder Window, Desktop Alert, and elsewhere.
• This also controls how tasks are colored, but only if the Category Colors or Priority Colors options are checked, since the other options are not applicable to tasks.
• This also controls how notes are colored, but only if the Category Colors option is checked, since the other options are not applicable to notes.
• These options enable you to easily scan for things like high priority events, or events occurring at a certain location, based on the associated colors.

Color Event Sidebar Using...

• The color sidebar can be used to see associated calendar, category, priority, or location colors.
• For example, if items are colored based on calendar, the sidebar can be configured to show priority colors. All high priority items will have a red sidebar (by default), or whatever color is assigned to high priority items.
• VueMinder will remember which combination of primary and sidebar color modes you prefer, so when switching the primary color mode, the sidebar mode will automatically update.
