Modifying Vivaldi Calendar to use Google Colors
-
@Dancer18 @Pathduck I really appreciate all the help. Let me demonstrate what I can do & the product. There are 3 images. #1 illustrates settings #2 illustrates new event with colored event #3 illustrates the same new event except that cursor is focused on a different cell. Is your experience different?
-
@janrif I still don't understand. It seems to me you already use some CSS mod for the calendar events? Because by default they show as:
Unless there's a setting for that - I'm not that familiar with the Calendar as I don't really use it...
And your colours look OK to me - you have:
SALARY -> CAROL = Income?
CAROL -> WORK = Family?I have to admit, you're not very good at explaining what you need - but at least the screenshots helped a bit

@janrif Is how it works. Focused cell will get a brighter color but still on color picked.
Color tones may slightly differ too keep a good contrast (if not manually set to match)Tried adding a gmail event and seems ok (also in color).
-
@janrif Now I understand what you mean. If an appointment is only shown with a colored dot - as in Pathduck's example - the colors remain as selected.
However, if an appointment is all day, the color only appears as selected in the current field (today).
All past and future appointments are paler in color or sometimes completely different. For example, your orange becomes a dark brown (in dark theme).I am grateful to you for bringing up this topic.
This color change has been bothering me for a long time. But I had somehow resigned myself to it because I don't have that many appointments.So basically your contribution, dear Jan, is a feature request: The calendar colors should also be shown originally as selected for past and future appointments. At least there should be an option for this instead of these colors being changed automatically.

No, only the cell of today, not a focussed one.

...and I thank you @Dancer18 @Hadden89 @Pathduck for all your help. I think that is what a community forum is all about.

Do you want me to submit the feature request? TIA

@janrif Yes, brother. That would be nice. And you'll get it right now, with all material we collected here together.

@Pathduck I try my best & will try harder but I'm not sure we are on the same page. 2 Illustrations: #1 "Dinner w Patti" entered in Google Calendar #2 How "Dinner w Patti" appears in Vivaldi Calendar. ???

@janrif Didn't we already go over this? Vivaldi does not get the correct colours from G Cal. Just set them manually yourself after import to match the G colours.
It can't take more than a minute or two, instead of digging around for ages trying to find a CSS mod to do the same. Besides a CSS mod will not be able to contact Google's servers and get the colours.
I think I found that post you've been going on about losing:

All this does is set the background colour of the event to the calendar colour, nothing to do with Google. -
