Customizing Colors for Calendar Display

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
