Color code calendar events

How can I color code calendar events in Calendar (iPhone 4S)? I have it synced to Exchange. So if this is the case should calendar events come over as color coded from Exchange?

Not sure about adding color to the calendar as I have never done it. However, I assume it can be done based on the way the Calendar is set up in this TribeVita template. This may also be another great option for you other than colors.

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?

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.

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?

Color Code or Highlight Certain Events?

I may be the only person who wants this, but does anyone know of a way to color code the event names in iPhoto? Similar to the way you can color code folders in the finder. Even if it's just an on/off highlight.
The long story is I've been scanning and importing hundreds of photos from my "pre-digital" days. They all need a bit of tweaking (sometimes just a crop, but often a color adjustment, and resetting the dates since they automatically are given the date of import, not when I took the picture) so I've been slowly going through them, event by event, to do it. But I'd love to "highlight" all the event titles and then when they are tweaked, remove the highlight. Allowing me to do a quick scan through the events to see how many I have done and still have to do.
I've tried some googling to see if there might be a script or something, but I'm not sure what words I should use besides color code or highlight events. And they didn't turn up anything.
Long shot, but I figure if anyone has tried to do this, the helpful people here would know. If not, ce la vie.
Thanks,
Gina

No
You could assign a keyword to the photos when yo import them and make a smart album on that keyword - then remove the keyword as you "tweak" the scans so they drop out of the smart album

ICAL Alarms - can they be automated? Also - color coding ICAL events

A question re alerts - how can I make the default automatically give me 30 minutes notice of an new event, the way one can in Outlook/Entourage??
Another question - can I color code various events in ICAL the way one can in Enttourage (ie, home related are blue, work are green, etc.?

lapt,
But that changes all the events on the calendar, I think. I was trying to get different colors for different kinds of events (ie, work, home, kids, etc)
In that case make separate calendars for (ie, work, home, kids, etc).
How do I set the alarm so it is in effect automatically without my having to do it for each event
A string on your little finger? ...Just kidding.
I do not know of a way to make that happen.

Using a different color for each event in a calendar?

I don't know if this is possible. If I have a calendar that is green. Every event I set up in that calendar is green. So if you have a full day of events each day on the calendar just looks like this mass of green.
Is there any way (as I've seen in other calendar apps.) to change the color for each event so that they stand out more.
I see references on the net to an iCal plugin called iCalibrate which seems to do this but it also doesn't seem to be available any more? But it said...
" iCalibrate 1.3 can now change any color, anywhere in any of your calendars"
That's pretty much what I'd like to be able to do.
Pat.

Ok I found a similar question on this forum that was answered and helped. If anyone comes across this wondering the same thing, copy and paste your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file and rename the copy to something like "(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then replace "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" in your code to <link href="../SpryAssets/(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then you are good to go.

How do you change color of an event in a calendar in ical

how do I change the color of an EVENTt in ical

boivinr wrote:
PLEASE APPLE ADD COLOR TAGGING TO EVENTS!!!
Um, color tagging events has always been a feature of iCal. Go into iCal. In the upper left-hand corner it says "Calendars." Go under "File" and create a new Calendar--iCal will give it a color, but you can change that. If you do this in iCloud, you simply pick "edit" and click on the color, and you've a huge range of choices as to what color you want it to be.
So, now you've got calendars--the family events calendar (named "Family") the "Days Off" calendar and the "Appointments" calendar...each with their own color. You can see them all when you click on "calendars" there on the left-hand side. And, in your case, can create calendars for each person at your work to know when they'll be on or off work. "John's calendar" and "Susan's calendar."
You create an event, and among the choices you have (date, time, alert, notes) is one that says: "Calendar." It will show the default calendar with it's color, but offer you up and down arrows to pick a different calendar (you can change the default calendar, by the way, under preferences). You use those arrows and pick "John" calendar and the "event" of John being on-shift from 10pm-10am on December 12th appears on the calendar in orange. Create an event and give it the "Susan Off" calendar and her time off will appear in green. Give several events the "appointment" calendar and they'll all be blue (or whatever colors you've picked for these things).
Yes?
Now whether you can sync your iCal to Google and match up the colors is a whole other story. But you can--and have for as long as I can remember---color code your iCal events.

Google calendar event color tags not showing up in IPhone iCal - any fixes?

I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) and am trying to sync my google calendar to the built in iCal app. The events sync both ways, but the color tags I assign to each event does not sync. It used to bother me that the only way to color code events in google calendar was to create multiple calendars, but it seems as though google calendar has added the ability to change the color for each event so I'm going back to google calendar. For example, my classes are in blue, exams are in pink, meetings are turquoise, etc.
I synced my google calendar to the iPhone iCal (via settings, turned on calendar tab listed under gmail account that I use for my google calendar), and all the events sync correctly (can add events on google calendar or iPhone and it syncs), but the colors do not sync. When I view my iPhone iCal all the events from my google calendar are the same color, even if they have different color tags when viewed online. Also, when I add an event on the iPhone iCal, the event syncs to the google calendar but there is no option to change the color tag for the event and it shows up as the default grey color when viewed online.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is this something that google and apple have not resolved?
I would prefer not to use a third party app, but I might consider it if there is no other fix. Thanks!

Hello lulu and welcome to the Palm forums.
I don't know of a way to make the color codes from iCal sync with the color codes on the Palm Z22. The Missing Sync for Palm OS has more features than Palm Desktop, but I also don't believe it will sync the category color codes.

Calendar color codes - Same list - Jquery

I'm working on my first SharePoint project and I have patched together this code referencing a few different blogs.
There are two different actions here:
Calendar color coding using the same list, based on div titles.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

var OldCalendarNotify =
SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a;
SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a = function ()
OldCalendarNotify();
colorCalendarEventLinks();
if (SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b)
var OldCalendarNotify =
SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b;
SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b = function ()

Modal popups for the separate calendars and views.

options.title = title;
options.width = 1100;
options.height = 600;
//autosize=true;
options.url = url;
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
</script>
This is a snippet of how i reference the modals
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:showModal('Land Sales', '/matt/Land/Lists/LandSales/calendar.aspx');">Land Sales</a>
</th>
<th>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:showModal('Events', '/matt/Land/Lists/Events/calendar.aspx');">Events</a>
</th>
<th>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:showModal('Obligations', '/matt/Land/Lists/Obligations/calendar.aspx');">Obligations</a>
</th>
</tr>
It works for the most part except for two things:
One it loses the formatting when you expand a day with more then 3 events. This isn’t that big of a problem the client accepted that it would take
a while to code and we decided we would spend time elsewhere on the site.
Now for the real problem
It applies the colors to the primary calendar (Obligations) that displays on the page.
It only applies the colors to
Land Sales in the modal windows, none of the others. (Including
Obligations)
All of the titles look similar to this:
<div title="1/23/2013 - 6/6/2013 Rental - Rental Due Date" class="ms-acal-item" style="...
At this point I have stared at it for a while and can't find the issue.
Any help would be appreciated
Matt

Hey guys, I thought I would update the situation. I was something simple, I neglected to put the JQuery/JScript on the View I linked in the modal pop up.
I also ended up using removeClass + addClass to change the color of the event text to improve the visiablity.
Here is my working code.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
<style>
.cal-text A:Link {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF !important;
.cal-text {

OldCalendarNotify();
setInterval(function(){colorCalendarEventLinks()},2000);

var OldCalendarNotify =

Color coded categorization for calendar events

I rely heavily on my calendar to track schedules for everyone in my family and I am really unhappy that the ability to color code categories for calendar events is missing - it has been available on every other Palm product I've owned. Does anyone know how to request a specific function? Or has anyone heard that this issues might be addressed?
I am seriously considering going back to my Centro for the calendar. The fancy stuff is great, but the bottom line for me is a functional calendar.
Thanks

That has been suggested to me but it means I would have to track a separate calendar for each family member and pet, meaning more work, not less, and I have found that I get many duplicates when I use more than one google calendar. It's just not convenient and it doesn't give me the option to categorize (medical appts, vet appts, work travel, different school due dates for different people, etc.) by person AND appt. type.
Again, not as simple, quick, visual or flexible as when the function was in the app.
Thank you for the suggestion, though.

IOS7 change calendar event color

I know how to change the color of the calendar in IOS7, but the calendar EVENTS always show in pale grey - which is often difficult to view. How can I change the color of the calendar EVENT 'dot' when looking at a whole month on the iphone screen?

The different colors correspond to different calenders. Two common calenders are Home and Work. You can't create a new type on the iPod, you need to do that on a computer on on the web. One you have more than one calender you can add events to the calenders on the iPod.

Best Calendar App to connect to Google Calendar and color code appointments

I am looking for a replacement calendar app that will connect to Google Calendar and allow me to color code individual appointments. I have looked at a ton of apps in the app store but none of them talk about the color coding option I am looking for. I don't want to do the trial and error thing and waste my time and money.

How to change color of iCal event, without changing the calendar.

I have my work Exchange calendar imported to iCal. When I want to change the color of an event in iCal, it actually changes the event to a differnet 'calendar' and therefore no longer shows up on my work calendar. This wouldn't be a problem, excpet my secretary can no longer see the event on my work calendar that shows up on her PC. So how can I change the color of 1 event, say to 'Important' or 'Must Attend', without changing the calendar?

Welcome to the discussions, spet.
Right click (Control-click) the calendar you want to change in the left pane and select Get Info. There is a colour selection button to the right of the calendar name..
