GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 782052
Today in mini-calendar not easy to distinguish from selected days

Created attachment 350854 [details] Notice the 2 is highlighted in the same shade of blue as the month. "today" highlight is not easy to distinguish from month highlight in month view. Open calendar view and click on Month. Notice that the highlighted data (today) is the same highlight as the highlighted month. (Notice attached screenshot). It would be easier if they were highlighted in different colors.
Thanks for a bug report. These colors come from your theme. My theme uses light-gray for selected days and blue for the rectangle of the 'today', thus two different colors.
I am using the default gtk3 theme (Adwaita). The same issue is in the "dark" variant.
I'm using a relatively standard Ubuntu and I see the same effect. The current day is in the same colour as the whole month. You can only see the background of the current day extending the top a little bit.
I do not know why Adwaita and other themes define the same selected color for focused and unfocused states, that's odd to me, but I'm not the decision maker there. I made some changes in evolution: a) the selected days use "theme_unfocused_selected_bg" b) the today rectangle is "theme_selected_bg" c) in case the focused and unfocused selected bg colors are the same the today rectangle is drawn with "theme_selected_fg" color It's not ideal, but I do not have anything better.
