MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / August 2007change highlight color of today in month view
I have changed the backround color of my calendar, but NOW I want to have the CURRENT day or Today be highlighted when I am in the Month view so I can easily see what the current day of the week is > I have changed the backround color of my calendar, but NOW I want to > have the CURRENT day or Today be highlighted when I am in the Month > view so I can easily see what the current day of the week is It should already be highlighted The date corresponding to today should be highlighted by an orange color in the portion of the day entry where the date number occurs, at least for Outlook 2003. What version are you using?  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Hello Brian, I have Outllok 2003 SP2, and no I have nothing like you describe, but I do have a small white highlighted area on the current day- up at the top border of the date box, I also checked my other pc and I have a Brown/Orange top border shading. Problem is I don't know how to change that shading color to make it contrast to the backround > > I have changed the backround color of my calendar, but NOW I want to > > have the CURRENT day or Today be highlighted when I am in the Month [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > highlighted by an orange color in the portion of the day entry where the > date number occurs, at least for Outlook 2003.

What version are you >> using? Thank you Diane, after I posted I saw this was the topic of a thread last year which you were involved with. "But" I have 2 PC's both with Outlook 2003 sp2, both with identical backround themes, one has a a nice orange/brownish see thru banner at the top, ( i can live with this), the other is a very faint white transparent border at the top...Why can't I get both to have the same Brownish/Orange top see thru banner indication for the current day, in the month view??? > its controlled by the windows scheme/theme - you can't change it. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> date number occurs, at least for Outlook 2003.

Hello Diane Yes both pcs are using the exact same sceme, sorta a Lavender backround color, 7 day, uncompressed weekends, 7 am to 9 pm etc etc, How would I "reset" Outlook, as you suggest...I have tried changing both colors around on both pc's etc..back to lavender, to get the Orange top border on the one PC which has the white banner...no good! > which windows color scheme are you using? are both calendars the same color? > did you try resetting the color scheme on the system with the white border? [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > >> >> date number occurs, at least for Outlook 2003. What version are you > >> >> using? oh.... I think we're talking about two different color schemes. The one that affects the highlight color is controlled in Windows control panel, Display settings. The white border should be on all calendar colors on the affected machine...

Diane Not sure you understand. 1. Both pcs are running the same exact software versions. and both have the same setting for calendar views as far as color.

What Theme you are using in Windows? Set it to the default - in XP, choose the blue or silver theme, in vista, choose the one called Windows Vista. This should fix it.
