I also want to change the background-color and possibly the (font) color.

Sorry for the late reply. At weekends, I rarely am in front of computer.
You can define class in your CSS. then assign it into your transfrom code.

transform: (event) => {  
  if (event.title.search("Recycle") > -1) {
    event.icon = "mdi:recycle"
    event.className = "CLASS_RECYCLE" // in your css/custom.css, define color and bgcolor for this class
  }
  return event
},

I figured that out about an hour ago and was coming back to the forums to revise my post. Thanks for confirming what I did works!

@Sean That worked perfectly . How would you go about making the slot event background not be a black gradient? I just want the whole thing to be transparent.

You can adjust the background color in the CSS file.

Since you already defined the eventName: “CHORES_CAL” you can use it in CSS.

syntax:

background-color: rgba(red, green, blue, alpha);

alpha: 0~1 (0:transparent, 1:opaque)

Try this in your CSS file.

.CX2 .event.CHORES_CAL {
	background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);
	}

I believe that will make the background transparent for all the events in that eventName class.

1. Slightly narrow event’s width is intentional to avoid margin of error on calculation. It is hardcoded. But if you want to modify it by yourself,

eventDom.style.width = width - 15 + "px"

Change 15 to what you want.

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Can I also shrink the gap between events vertically somehow?

Tell me more exact details? Even a picture will help.

What I mean with gap between events is this:

Hmmm… in Original CSS, there was no huge gap. It would be only 2px. I think you probably have modified CSS by yourself, but I don’t know what you changed. Sorry, can’t help you.

Thats fine, I’ll figure it out.

In the upcoming calendar, I have location or additional information in the events and their font is too big. Can I somehow make it smaller? Here’s a pic, the last row being the additional information:

Each event has eventSub (and its sub-elements eventLocation and eventDescription). By default, agenda(upcoming and current) views would reveal eventSub, so, you can use that CSS selector to specify.

Missed that styling part… :grimacing_face: got it working, thank you again!

Hello again. is there a way to scroll the events when there are so many on a single day with displaying the (+x).

Thanks.

[A Former User]

@code999
no. i was tried scrolling in my older CALEXT but too burden to rpi.

[A Former User]

@code999
Instead, you can sort and filter the order of events to be shown.

Did CalendarExt in Weeks (or Month) view automatically adjust the height of the day to accommodate the events?
I swear if there was only one or two events for a day (in a given week), the whole row was shorter.

[A Former User]

@ChickenBeard
Not adjusted automatically. you can set the height of the slot manually.

Is it CX2 .slot ?

[A Former User]

@ChickenBeard
if you mean some table views (month, week), set slotMaxHeight of view configuration.

[code999]

@Sean okay. it would be great to have though. not seeing the events is not good. limited space on the screen so i cant just make more room because then i will lose a full week from the month view.
thanks.

[code999]

@Sean could you help me do that anyway? lol
i would really like it to do that.
Thanks.

do what?

[code999]

@Sean make the events under a date that is not showing scroll.
I am trying to figure it out but I have no coding knowledge at all so I just randomly change things and see what it does but I am not getting anywhere doing that at all.
