Can I change the default color of a calendar event?

I have a couple calendars that will be using the overlay functionality in 2010, and chosing colors for the overlays is no problem.  However the main calendar defaults to green, and then when you open any of the overlay calendars their default color
is green on their calendar but different on the main version.  Is there a way I can change the default so that either the main calendar doesn't show green (then each overlay owner wouldn't be confused), or to change the seperate overlay calendars to have
their default match the selected overlay color?Denzel

Hi Denzel,
SharePoint 2010 calendar makes use of CALENDARV4.CSS file.  The default location of this file is [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES\Themable\]
Search for .ms-acal-item element in this CSS file and make changes to
background-color property to suit your requirement.  A trial and error method could allow you to achieve your functionality.
CAUTION: Kindly make backup of your original CALENDARV4.CSS file, before making any changes.
There is a good reference/sample of Calendar Styles by Heather Solomon for earlier SharePoint version 2007 here:
http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2007/11/20/SharePoint-Calendar-CSS--Clean-and-Condensed.aspx
Additionally, please make use of Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools (F12) to further explore the overlay calendar CSS.  Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

    I am not quite sure what you are asking, but there's this:
    Your location for time purposes is set in System Preferences, Date & Time, Time Zone tab.
    If you are using iCal, there is a Time Zone option in iCal Preferences, Advanced.

    Hi John,
    Thank You for your reply
    I know that can be solved by using skin.
    but when I use (dark - medium - light ) the appearance change without using skins.
    I ask is there any way to change the default color (blue) with any other color.
    - It means when I write a dark in decorativeBox theme I found the decorativeBox in red color (or any other color) instead of blue color.
    - Where can I find the place which say the blue is the default color?
    Thank You..

  • How do I change the default settings for new calendar events?

    So I am relatively new to Mac. I've been using iCal in conjunction with iCloud/iPhone heavily and one thing that I found really annoying is that by default, every new event that I make has two alerts already set. One message and one email message. It's really frustrating to have to go and set both alerts to "None" everytime I make a new event. I primarily use the calendar on my iCloud-synced iPhone to view and keep track of events and the Mac to actually create the events so there's no reason for me to need alerts on the computer. Is there any way to change the preferences so that there is no default alert?

    Look in the menubar, iCal > preferences > General tab > uncheck "Add a defult alert...."

  • Can I change the default color of Word windows so that icons can stand out better?

    I'd prefer someting like white as a background color behind the functions, toolbars, etc. (I hope I'm explaining myself properly.) Also, the icons are really tiny. The only thing I see that a user is able to modify is the background (non-type) of the document itself, which I have no need to change.
    Thanks all.

    I don't think you can however you want to ask in the MS Word for Mac forum. If you do let them know what version of MS Office you have, 2004, 2008 or 2011. You can find it by clicking Office for Mac Product Forums

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
    Something like

  • How can I change the default fill and stroke colors for new shapes?

    As you can see in the following screen recording, after I change the stroke and fill color, all my subsequent rectangles are created respecting these new colors. But then when I delete all the rectangles, choose the rectangle shape tool once again, and start creating new rectangles, they start getting created with another color I had used some time ago (and I don't know how did it become the default color).
    http://tinypic.com/r/64jrwp/6
    So how can I change the defaults, so that the fill color is say #ddd, and the shape has no stroke at all?
    Thanks.

    When you have the shape tool selected you will see in the tool bar below - file edit etc a fill and stroke. This is where you can change the colours.
    You can keep drawing your shapes like you did in the video but then select the rectangle and change the colour from this tool bar. The reason it changes will be because you changed the colours you were using (foreground / background) that display in the left side tool bar.

  • How do I change the default color in pages.

    How do I change the default color in pages.  Everytime I try to copy and paste a passage, I am unable to do so because it seems that the ink is always white on white.  Sometimes I am lucky and can change it using the color box in the format bar, but it's a rarity when I'm able to do it.

    What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
    A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

    It's not a Fireworks setting. It's a system-wide setting. You
