Customizing Calendar Entries


You can change the way that calendar entries appear in your Calendar. Notes allows you to color-code your entries and to change which fields appear in the views.

Color Coding Calendar Entries

You can select the background and text colors for the different types of calendar entries. To set colors from the Calendar view, choose Tools, Preferences from the menu. On the Calendar & To Do tab, click the Colors tab. For each color you want to change, click the arrow in the Background Color or Text Color fields. Choose your colors from the palette using the sliders or eyedropper as shown in Figure 9.7. When you are finished selecting your colors, click OK to save your choices and close the dialog box.

Figure 9.7. Move the sliders to select your color (R=Red, G=Green, B=Blue). If you want to return to the default Notes Calendar colors, click the Restore Default Calendar Colors button.
