This new version, 2016, is like taking a step backwards. In just three days, I've had to apologize for scheduling people for external appointments on their days off. Making calendar appointments is 45% of my job. I just scheduled someone for an appointment and they had to get back to me that they were out on PTO that day. Now the color is so faint, I can't even see it. When they are OOO, their calendars used to show up as dark purple, which was great, because then I wouldn't schedule them for an appointment that day. I manage 10 supervisors' calendars daily. I am a color person and this is just assaulting my eyes. And don't get me started on the new colors-so ugly. I just got "upgraded" to 2016, formerly used 2010. Thanks, Microsoft, for making my job so much harder. This view colors past events that are not recurring.

(The rules are applied in order, with the first rule overriding subsequent rules.)Īny appointment or event that is not assigned a color will be colorized by the conditional formatting rules. Select the Today rule and click Move Up to make it the first rule in the list.(This rule is less useful if you have a lot of recurring or multi-day appointments or meetings as few appointments will be highlighted 'today'.) Note: If you don’t use Recurring equals no (or Recurrence pattern is empty), all recurring events will be highlighted. Because just changing the appointment colors is usually not enough to highlight Today, you can create a second Conditional formatting rule, using the Advanced tab to set a filter for Start Today and Recurring equals no.A warning dialog will tell you the rule will be applied to all events. Click the Ok button to Save and close the conditional formatting rule.(Unfortunately there isn't an option for White, 'none' is transparent.)
