Yes, but that's only the default event color, the highlight color etc. If the 
user assigned custom colors to categories these should be preserved. These 
are arbitrary user-defined colors anyway, we don't have any influence on 
that.

You are talking about multi-day events, which have a certain start and end 
time. That's ok. What I meant are the events without time that appear in the 
top part of the agenda view. At the moment they all are shown with a time 
"0:00 - 0:00". That's not really helpful ;-)

Ok, that looks fine.

Ok, that's better. But it doesn't work, when the color of the event is very 
dark. For a black event, the selection isn't visible at all. I think the 
color of the selection also has to be calculated in a way it gives sufficient 
contrast.

Thanks for all the work you have put into this patch. Could you address the 
issues I mentioned above and then commit the patch? We can solve remaining 
problems in CVS then.
