GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 231216
Color coding in the Calendar
Last modified: 2019-11-26 13:28:13 UTC
Wanted features: Days with only Fulldaytasks should be shown in another color in the Calender overview. Ability to specify Places and then select them from a dropdown list. Preferably be able to colorcode them too. Look at Apples MacOSX calender. Eg. TV, Home, School, Garage, Classroom X, Trainstation etc. The ability to give certain places certain colors, so if I choose to set a meeting, X-Files, TV and I select that TV has the color blue the calender should reflect this by changing background color of the meeting.
Splitup of ideas from 28873 with additions
Look at: http://www.apple.com/ical/organize.html for ideas.
one of the idears i have would be that categories had color's everything that has to do with work is green for example but al my private time is marked yellow or i could define my own color on a a pointment, this would make everting much more clearer & faster overview.
This would be especially usefull since we now have multiple calendars.
Could we get some comments on these bugs from the UI department of Ximian perhaps?
Marking with UI keyword so it gets picked up.
I was searching for a evolution forum but didn't found one. So, here is my vote for color coding. Evolution needs colored categories, its a standard feature of an calendar and helps me a lot planning my day.
Evolution should also support this on Exchange servers already set labels. It's probably more of a bug for evolution-exchange, but it'd be nice even without the exchange support.
Don't know if that's what Derek is talking about but you're not able to change the color of other people's calendar if you're using the exchange connector. Unfortunately, on my screen, all my colleagues' calendars have a very similar color (pinkish) and I can't make a clear distinction between calendar entries belonging to one of them and the other ones.

This can be done by changing the color of calendars, I guess.
Evolution 3.30.x allows to set colors for respective events [1]. It's not tight to categories (which lost their color information long back). It's not that easy, but might address your concerns at least partially. There is required that thebackend supports this feature, otherwise the color cannot be changed (for example On This Computer, On The Web and CalDAV calendars do support it). The color picker is shown on the right of the calendar name in the component editor. [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/37
