You can't. The checkbox-rollover / overlay widget is disabled for
OOTB collection.
Currently shift-click in tables, e.g. the sidebar, adds to the
selection, so it is possible to have multiple collections selected.
This is useful for deleting multiple user collections, among other
things.
I think we want to disable this feature because it adds complexity to
the whole issue of visually distinguishing between "the selected
calendar that is on top" versus "overlayed calendars that are
underneath."
Given that:
1. Users won't be able to delete OOTB collections
2. Deleting multiple user-defined collections will be a relatively
rare use case...
How do you feel about disabling shift-click in the sidebar?
As an alternative to graying out the checked collections when an
"Out of the Box" collection is selected, how about unchecking
them (unselecting "Out of the Box" collections would restore the
previous checked state).
What is your thinking behind this proposal? Currently when focus
shifts from one pane to another (e.g. sidebar to summary pane and
vice versa), we don't get rid of the selection, instead we dim it
out.
I was thinking of something different: Suppose you have a "User"
collection checked. When you select an "Out of the Box" collection
the "User" collection's check would disappear. If you unselected
the "Out of the Box" collection the "User" collection's check would
reappear.
However, I'm inclined to go with the proposal below because it
seems easier to implement.
Okay, sounds like we're in agreement then.
