I would also like the ability to customize the background color of calendar events. Right now, you can choose the text color of calendar events (which is nice, because I set my husband's Google calendar to blue, mine to red, and our son's to green), but I would rather the text be white and the background of the event be the color (like how holiday or all-day events appear with a background). I can't figure out how to get the CSS code to work to do this. |

For all-day/multiple-day events, with Google Authenticated accounts, this can already be done. If you change the event color on your Google Calendar the event color will will be reflected on the DAKboard for that specific event. See the article below to see how to do this: https://dakboard.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/35000105605 |

We only saw the change to all-day events displayed on our wall calendar (one 365 and two Google calendars are linked) beginning yesterday. Immediately, all members of the family reacted negatively - the solid colors with white lettering are very bright, make the embedded text difficult to read, and needless to say, seem like a terrible waste of pixels that will lead to screen burn. PLEASE find a way to reverse this asap - we don't even want to turn the thing on at this point! If this feature truly can't be toggled, can we select the background color and just set it to black ? Or, could we make the block of color appear less bright perhaps, and change the text color of all-day events as well? |

You can already make the colors less bright by choosing a different calendar color from the source or selecting the color you would like to see on the DAKboard side. See our article Assign a Unique Calendar Color to Each Calendar for more details on how to do this. |

This makes the display really ugly. I set all my events to all day with the time in the title because they typically do not have an end time. Also this makes the text extremely hard to read. I really can't imagine that there is no way make this happen considering how advanced the DAKboard software is. |

A recent customer request has asked if we can set this up to work the opposite way as well. This customer would like to be able to add the color background with white lettering to all events and not just all-day events. |

Currently using apple iCal but a recent update has caused all-day events to be displayed with white text with the chosen colour of the calendar becoming the background. Timed events are displaying as text in the colour of the calendar. We would like the text for all-day events to be displayed in the colour of the calendar. As an example, we have a birthday calendar with blue text and a cake image next to it. The birthday is set as an all-day event. Since the update, this displays as a blue rectangle for the background and white text. The full block rectangle of colour looks so out of place with other entries appearing as different coloured text. An update for this would be greatly appreciated Many thanks |

Hi John, Sorry I didn't see this sooner, and I may have already responded to you in a ticket about this but I thought I should add it here as well. You can change the coloring of the lettering in the All-Day events by using Custom CSS available with Paid Subscription plans. Go into your Custom Screen editor, click on the Styles dropdown in the upper left corner, click the Add Custom CSS Rules button, and then copy and paste the code below into the space provided: This will change the letters in all these event types to Black. Changing the color name will change what color is used. Save your changes then press the Refresh Displays button to the right of the Add A Block button to refresh your displays. |

Unfortunately, this method cannot be made to target one calendar it must target all calendars in the Calendar block |

All, In testing I originally found the problem of decreased visibility hard to replicate, but now see that if your calendar color integrated from Google/MS or manually set in a light in color such as yellow, and your text is set white this can certainly be the case. You may override the color from these integrations in the custom screen calendar block to any color you wish using the following method, which will allow to set for increased contrast and make your screen more visible, additionally in the formatting tab you can change from light/dark text: If you are using the Predefined screen, you can change the color in Google/MS and we will integrate and display it accordingly. Separately, if you have added an image behind your calendar causing it hard to read we have additional helpful options. In a Custom screen you can deploy a colored gradient with a level of opacity, and or blur the background where your calendar is: While we consider making changes to this design, please let us know if these are helpful recommendations. |

John also suggested the following in his open ticket with us: I would want the rectangles around the all day events to be transparent and the text colors to be the colors of the calendar feeds as I assign them This could be another possible solution. |

Hi
This works for all calendars, but is it possible to change the colour for just one calendar using CSS?
Many thanks

Unfortunately, no. This targets the Calendar Block and cannot target the individual calendars in the block. |

Please make this a feature. I am currently looking for a calendar for the family... Dakboard seems the best... except when I tried it out. I work shiftwork and my schedule automatically downloads to my ical or google calendar from my work scheduling program. It looks really nice on those. When it imports to Dakboard, any shift that crosses midnight looks way different than other shifts makes the screen hard to read. Add in another family member with shiftwork and it starts to take a lot of time to decipher- while the same thing on our phones and computers (ical and google calendar) is pretty and easy to read. PLEASE fix this. It's the only thing holding me back from getting the touch screen and a subscription. Everything else seems good. |

Post our bug fix to correct the issue where the All-day/Multiple-day Color backgrounds for events were missing on all ICS/iCal links, we have had a few customers request the ability to remove this. The Current design of the Calendar system prevents us from even modifying this with custom CSS.
I have opened this discussion to determine how many customers would like this ability as well as to look into possible ways of adding this enhancement without compromising the calendar block.
