v2.7: Building icon color doesn't match

The building icon next to events does not color correctly to match the color that is set for that location. They are colored to match the color of the calendar that they are on, which defeats the purpose of the icon. In Week view, the buildings are all colored white if on a colored calendar bar or black on a white calendar bar.

I see this too, and I agree that it is a problem. It doesn't help a bit to see the icon in the color of the calendar, but it was very helpful in previous versions to have the icon match the color of the building. I hope this can be fixed.

We can select colors for the buildings, but it doesn't apply to displayed calendar events - only to "location event" display.

Calendar events are always the color of the calendar they are on. The icon of the building is in the corner is the color of the building.

Building calendars do color events there color if they are not tied to any organization aka calendar.

That's what I'd expect, but not what I'm seeing. I've tried IE11 and Chrome.

Not seeing it in multiple browsers on an iPad either (Safari, Chrome, Atomic Web, etc.). I never realized how much I rely on that as a scheduler for all the buildings in my Stake.

I believe I understand and see the problem - Dave Crockett (calendar product manager)

Someone get that man a cookie!!

Yes I see the problem now The Building Icon is going with the calendar color for some reason I misunderstood. So yes this is a problem we are looking at thanks.

I do think it looks nicer this way, but for those that have been using that feature, I can see how it can be frustrating. All I use the building icon for is to see if an event is actually tied to any specific location.

I think for most events, just knowing the calendar the event is on is usually a good indication of the building. But that's not always the case. And it's the exceptions that makes this feature desirable.

We should have this fixed this week.

This is a big problem for me too. You cannot see at a glance what building is booked and is not an improvement. Before, at a glance, you could see the calendar it was booked on and the location by the color of the text and the building icon.

This has been fixed in 2.7.1.

I'm not sure when 2.7.1 will be released but, if it helps, I found this interesting today:

Linked is an image where you can see that on Dec 22, one of the calendar items has the correct color icon. The rest on the page do not.

I will be opening a new item using the same screen shot since you can see that I unchecked two of the buildings but all buildings' events stayed on.

It's already been released. What you're seeing is with 2.7.1.

Note that the item that shows the correct building color icon is one up in the All-day events section in Week View; it looks like those work correctly, but all the events with times associated with them have a white or black icon (depending on the background color). And Month View works correctly for both kinds of events.

So it looks like this bug is not entirely fixed.

We should get the week view fixed next week for a 12/18 fix release.
