Marking today’s date in different color in Mozilla Calendar

[Elias Blackman]

I am using the Mozilla Calendar for some days now. Whenever I want to view a date, it becomes difficult as the color of today’s date and the date which I want to view seems same. It sometimes becomes difficult if I am viewing the next day from today. Can anybody help me to change the color?

Changing color of the calendar needs one to edit the .css file in its system. Get in the profile folder. The file that has to be edited is hidden by default. It will be found in Windows OS at,
C:\Documents and Settings!\YourUserName\ApplicationData\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxx.default\chrome
In this folder find a file by name “userChrome.css”. This is the file to be edited.

You will find a code like the one mentioned,
multiweek-view-event-class[eventselected="true"]
month-day-box-class[monthselected="true"],
month-day-box-class[monthselected="true"][weekend="true"],
month-day-box-class[multiweekselected="true"],
month-day-box-class[multiweekselected="true"][weekend="true"]
month-view-event-class[eventselected="true"]
day-view-all-day-event-class[eventselected="true"]
day-view-event-class[eventselected="true"]
week-view-event-class[eventselected="true"]
week-view-hour-box-class[weekselected="true"]
Edit this code. This is just the basic syntax of the original code. Put the color you want in form of ASCII code. This will help.

you also need to change the code in minimonth preset. The location of this file is skin/classic/calendar/datetimepickers/minimonth.css and /modern/classic/calendar/datetimepickers/minimonth.css. In this file you will find a line minimonth-day[selected="true"], edit this to obtain desired color.

You need to recreate a jar file to store and apply this changes. I tried this some time back and let me warn you that it is risky for the proper working of Mozilla Calendar. Any error won’t harm other applications or system files. Any error in the code might lead to data loss in the software.
