Google calendar, colours.

Hi

I've just got a Lenovo Thinktab, my first Android device. I'm really pleased with it and have just managed to migrate my old Palm calendar to the Google calendar. I can't work out how to change the deafult colours for the calendar. All internet searches suggest I should be able to but I just can't find the menu. At the moment, events are displayed as white on pale blue and are very difficult to read. Thanks in advance. Steve.

If you've updated your calendar app to the latest version on the Play store you should be able to do this in the "Calendars to display" option in the Calendar settings.

Afaik if you log into your Google calendar online you can change the colors there & they should filter through to the app. You may need to clear data & resync the app.

Thanks both. I don't have my tablet with me but I'll give both solutions a try tonight. Code Monkey, I assume playstore will always offer the latest version as first choice? If so, that's what I've downloaded so hopefully will be the latest.

Yes - latest version only

Hi. Managed to change the colour by both suggested methods, thanks very much. I've got white text on dark brown now which is much easier to read.
