Calendar event colors

[jack22182]

My default calendar events ended up with dark purple background and black text, making it nearly impossible to read the text. I checked but can't find any way to change this. It looks like the phone just picks whatever color it feels like and has no options to customize. Any advice?

No responses? I'd like to know this one as well. All my appts are dark purple and I can't even read them most of the time since the calendar background is black. Any advice would be appreciated!

Can't say for stock application, but Jorte calander lets me customize pretty much everything, from background color to line color, color of the day, etc.

I'm using google calender colors, and change the event color there though. Unsure whether or not I could customize individual events or calenders within my calender.

Jorte is great, and its widget shows two weeks worth of schedule with all events listed on the widget... extremely useful.

Thanks for the tip! I wasn't really expecting an answer after searching Google and finding multiple people asking the same question but no answers, but I thought it was worth a shot. I'll take a look at Jorte.

If you use an Exchange server, log into your outlook client and apply a category color to the appointment. Then the purple background will go to grey... Much easier on the eyes. I've been told by a friend at work that it's fixed with 2.2. He's running an original Droid though...
