Item Style Setup

For this screen to be present, the system wide option for Item styles are linked to event types must be set to no. If it is set to yes, then item styles are edited at the Event Type Screen.

Use the Item Style Setup to create styles that can be applied to calendar events. Use these styles to change the fonts, color, and appearance of your calendar events.

To begin, select SYSTEM | ITEM STYLE SETUP from the menu.

Enter the number of styles you wish to create and click on the Save button.

Once you create styles, you can assign them as defaults on calendars and set them on each individual calendar event.

If desired, grant Users or Groups the Assign Item Style privilege for the calendars (using the Manage Security Wizard or Manage Security Screen on the Edit Calendar page). If a User does not have this permission, they cannot change the style of an Item. The Item will always have the default style for the calendar.

The section below contains detailed information on configuring the different elements of an Item style.

Style Name - You can assign names to your styles that are useful to you. A high school might enter styles of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior.

Background Color & Text Color - Enter the colors you wish to use for the background color and text color. You can type in a color name like red or enter the RGB hexadecimal code. If you enter the RGB hexadecimal code, remember to prefix the colors with the # symbol (i.e. #XXXXXX). You can also select the palette icon to pop up a color selector dialog.

Font Family - Enter the names of the fonts you wish to use. Separate font names with a comma (,). For example, if you put in Tahoma, Lucida, Sans Serif, the browser would try to use those fonts in that order.

Font Size - Enter the point or pixel size for the text. For points, put pt after the size; for pixels, put px after the font size.

Decoration - You can specify whether you want the calendar events to be underlined by selecting underline from the dropdown list. If you do not want underline, set the decoration to none.

Display - If you set Display to block, then the items will be HTML block elements. This will insert an extra break after each item. If you do not want the extra break, set the Display to inline.

Experts Only - If you want to tweak the settings beyond the capabilities provided, you can use one of the supplied text boxes. In the example below, in the Font-Family field, type something like:

Tahoma, Lucida; other-option: your-setting
