Scheduler / CSS / Event Background Colours

Asked by CTS

If I set CSSOnly to False, I can change the background colours of the events dynamically on the beforeEventRender property, but when I use CSS themes (which do look a lot better than the default), the theme overrides the event backgroundcolour and I can't do this any more. Is there a middle ground. I'm trying to render the events as different colours depending on a rule so that the user can immediately view event statuses as colours. I've tried using a CSS prefix and setting CSSOnly to False, but that just comes out as the default look again. Help.

This is caused by the CSS theme definition. Some of the themes (white, green) use a gradient background which is defined using "background" property.

The e.BackgroundColor set in BeforeEventRender is applied on the _event_inner element as an inline background-color style. If you define background in the stylesheet this inline style will not be able to override the background color.

There are two possible solutions:

1. Create a custom class for each color you want to use and apply the class using e.CssClass instead of e.BackgroundColor.

2. Change the CSS theme so that it use background-color instead of background for _event_inner element. This way you won't be able to display the gradient though.
