Hi all,

because I use a Palm IIIx with color display and the DateBook5 calendar  
software, I am used to deal with colored categories. So I really appreciate 
the color support in KOrganizer!

But I wonder, why there are no colors in the month view?! IMHO this is a break 
in the KOrganizers' GUI. So I played around to implement a colored monthview 
and found out, that a colored background looks very ugly:
  please have a look at <http://www.t800.org/bgcolor.png>

So I tried to change the text color and set it to the category color, which is 
used as background color in the agenda view and in the week view:
  see <http://www.t800.org/fgcolor.png>

and I must say, I really like that look :-)! The colored text gives you a 
hint, to which category the incident belongs.

So, I want to suggest to apply the attached patchfile to komonthview.cpp and 
get the monthview colored, too.

Comments?

have fun!
Karsten
