Hello,
We are trying to setup a calendar with 8 different venues and when a certain venue is used we would like it to have a different background color.
The only way I can think of doing it is having 8 venues and 8 categories. Each category being a different color.

However, is there an easier way?

thanks in advance

Crysta,

Two ways you can do that.

1. as the way you suggested using Categoy.

2. you also can create a CSS class for each venue. in your template, you can modify the template to display using the css class with venue name, such as this:
<span class="[VENUE]">[EVENTTITLE]</span>

This is just an example, of course you can't have special characters in VENUE such as ", ', or else it will not work.
