Customizing Colors for Calendar Display

Created by Alex Laird, Modified on Sat, 15 Nov at 10:18 AM by Alex Laird

Helium lets you customize how classes, assignments, and other things appear on the calendar.


Color Options

  • Color for Events — the default color for Events (see also: Adding non-Academic Events to the Calendar)
  • Color for grade badges the color to be used when displaying grades
  • Color for material badges the color to be used when display materials
  • Color by category override Helium's default "Color by class" behavior, and color calendar items by category instead


When “Color by Category” Is Useful

  • When you want to visually distinguish Homework vs Quizzes vs Exams
  • When tracking workload across categories
