Add different Colors to Calendar Overlay Settings color

Dear All,
         I'm trying to show events on a calendar with different colors. The events are categorized based on Status field of
       Calendar list and I have two statuses. 1. Confirmed 2. Planning.
        When I create calendar overlays for two statues I'm only getting following colors.
        Dark Teal, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Olive Green, Red, Dark Purple Brown.
Can you please tell me how can I add some more different colors like yellow, sky blue to this drop down list.
        I referred this article
http://davidlozzi.com/2012/01/26/color-code-your-sharepoint-calendar/
Thanks,
Dilip

Hi,
The colors are controlled by the css classes ms-acal-color1 to ms-acal-color9.
You can override to the style as below, then add the style into a content editor web part in the calendar view.
<style type="text/css">
.ms-acal-color1{
background-color:lime !important;
</style>
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

SP2013 Calendar Overlays, Filter by Category, and Double entry issues

I have scoured the internet and have come up with NOTHING that covers this issue. I hope that someone here will prove me wrong. I am in the process of deploying a company intranet using the SP2013 software.
Currently I am focused on Calendar features. I am building Branch specific pages and calendars I am running into issues where I cannot color code the calendar efficiently. Specifically, I have built the calendar app part for the given site.
I have then added the appropriate filters, Closings, Meeting, Overflow. By following instructions online the thrid "overflow" filter is intended to catch all uncategorized entries. I can display the calendar, and apply the overlays and
the color code appears, my problem is that I am getting double entries for each. I have getting one entry for the calendar with the color code applied for the given category, and a second in the default calendar color. How do i get rid of the default
entry? I cannot remove it from the list of calendars being displayed.
Please help. I have 34 Branch calendars to build and 10 department calendars to work out.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2013 Calendars Overlay had Double entry issues.
Please make sure you create Calendars Overlay correctly.
As you said, there were duplicate events on your calendar.
This happens when you don’t create a calendar view with a filter where the category is blank. This view gives you a blank calendar, and the calendar overlays sit on top of it.
If you don’t use this blank calendar view, you are just adding the color-coded events on top of the existing calendar events.

How to add coloring to Calendar

For the longest time we wished we could have some color formatting in the Calendar web part. I just stumbled on some instructions for how to do that, and they actually worked.They are herehttp://blog.metrostarsystems.com/2014/07/16/sharepoint-2013-any-color-coded-calendar-step-by-step/Here's a low-quality image of my SharePoint page, you can see some of the colors in the calendar. Blue , of course, is the built in color.. I added the green , orange, red and dark blue.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Viewing the calendar, with the day selected you want to add the appointment to, tap on the + in the upper right corner of Calendar and that will bring up the add box.

My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

Color Code Calendar By Category

Hi All,
I am fully aware of the calendar overlay but do not want to use it. I am going to have two Categories (A or B)
I want A to to have a background color of green, and B have Blue.
I have tried several times with calculated columns, and adding java to a content editor but nothing seems to work right!
Can someone help me, this is one example of code i tried.
="<div style='width:100%;background-color:"&IF(Category="Meeting","Red",IF(Category="Business","Blue",""))&";'> "&Title&"</div>"
This seems so easy on tutorials but i cant get anything to work! simply just want it to be if category = a then background color is green...etc
this is an easy answer for someone, I will mark as answer.

If you are using JavaScript, the first step is to have that category type available somewhere for each item. Are you currently displaying them in your view?

Why does the color on my calendar keeps changing colors on its own

I have several color coded calendars for each family members. My daugther's calendar all of a sudden changed from green to blue (which is my son's) by itself. I changed it back to green and it automatically changed back to blue again. This happened once before a while back and after I keep changing back the color, it corrected itself eventually.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it permanently?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Same problem on top of regularly dropping WIFI when all of my other devices have no problem.
Owned this laptop since FEB 2014. My worst experience with a laptop to date. Wish I'd bought ASUS now which I also considered before buying.Another family member bought ASUS & no issues.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

How do you control the color code (calendar choice) when entering an event on the calendar in iCal?

Nevermind. I figured it out! Only the "all day events" get a bar of color.

Many others are experiencing this problem as well.. I personally have eleven different calender in iCal with assigned colors, all of which are different colors on my iPhone iCal.
It seems that as of now there is no fix for this bug and that we'll just have to wait for Apple to recognize the issue.

Cs6- need to enable printer's color management in Print settings dialogue box

I have been printing successfully for months to my Epson R2400. Suddenly, I am getting a Caution Triangle with a note that says "Remember to enable the printer's color management in the print settings dialog box. I have selected Color Handling: Printer manages in the Photoshop Print Settings box. Where else would I make this change.

Just select Photoshop Manages Color, and the printer driver color options should be disabled.

Can I share color profiles and distiller settings with all user accounts on my imac?

Everyone in our studio is on OSX 10.8.3 with adobe cs6 (not creativecliud version).
I have installed color settings and distiller settings on to the macs under the employees user profile.
All the machines also have a general user profile which anyone can use (setup mainly for use by freelancers).
Is there a space on the macs where i can install the color profiles and distiller settings so that all user accounts have them set up?
At the moment i am having to go into each user account on each machine and do it manually.
Also once i have installed distiller settings in one user account I can't install them on subsequent users.
I have tried placing the files in the
library/applicationsupport/adobe/color/
library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobepdf/settings
and
user/library/applicationsupport/adobe/color/
user/library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobepdf/settings
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,Russell

In that case, assuming your wife's XP User Account can access the D: drive as well, you don't have to bother with the To share your music with other accounts on the computer section of that article. That's already taken care of.
Just log into her account and head directly to the To listen to another account's music files section and follow those instructions.
If I had to emphasize one step to keep from stuffing it up, it would be:
4. Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library file" option.
("Deselect" being a fancy way of saying "uncheck")

Changing color of calendar

The ical help says to click the info button at the right bottom corner of the ical window to change color of calendar but there is no info button. Nor is there an option to change color in any of the ical windows ie file, edit, etc. Any suggestions?

Mudplay,
Select a calender on the left side of your iCal window, control click it to get the contextual menu & select "Get Info", click on the color sample dropdown to the right of the name & drag it down to "Other". From there, select any color you want & control its shade or value with the slider bar.
Hope this helps.

Calendar Activity instance using calendar cell background color

Hi ,
We have a requirement to show activity instance belong to a certain provider in calendar using the calendar cell background color, instead of the color of activity. Is this possible? If so, how to implement it?
I checked the calendar skin keys here:
http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/components/skinningKeys/calendar.jspx
but only find some keys related to activity like "af|calendar::month-time-activity", "af|calendar::all-day-activity" and "af|calendar::month-time-activity". These highlight the activity with color, but not the whole calendar cell.
I saw there is a skin key called "af|calendar::month-grid-cell" which set the background color of the calendar cells for the month. This is similar to what I am looking for, but I would like the cell's background color for the cells of the activity instance only, not all the cells in the month.
Any ideas?
Thanks
-Mina

Hi Mina,
There is a way to highlight cells corresponding to activity by using skinning, but you have to set the backgroud color property: af|calendar::month-time-activity{ background-color: Blue; }

Palm Desktop 4.2 - Text of color coded calendar entries are hidden for some colors

Environment:
Treo 680
Palm Desktop 4.2 running on Windows XP Pro
Color coded calendar entries have been working great since I got my phone over a year ago. When I added a new color category (bringing my total to 7 categories) I noticed that some of my calendar entries showed the color coded bar for the appointment, but the text for the entry was hidden. Nor was I able to edit the entry using Palm Desktop since any attempt to select the entry tries to create a new entry.
Thinking that I had exceeded a limit for the number of color categories I deleted the new category (so the entries were now unfiled). Now, all but one of my color categories are affected (color bar for appointment, but no text visible), including those marked with a category of "undefined".
The only color that now shows the text for calendar entries is my default category (not unfiled). This affects all of my existing calendar entries and any new ones I create, regardless of whether I create them on the Treo or using Palm Desktop.
If I press <tab> to cycle through my appointments on the page, it selects only those for my default color cateogry where the text of the entry is visible (i.e. it skips all the other appointments).
The calendar entries are all visible on my Treo, thankfully.
I have not installed any new apps or updates.
I've not been able to find anyone else reporting this problem.
My next step will be to restore my backup from last week, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I set categories to all?
Tools > Categories
Whichever category I select here becomes the default category and its entries will be visible, but all other categories will be hidden. My only other options are New, Delete, Rename and Help.
The only other configuration setting for categories that I can find is under
Tools -> Preferences
I have the checkbox "Display color-coded categories" checked
Thanks!
