Hey David,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for taking a shot at Microsoft, nothing
personal. I just hate it when a company forces me to use a piece of software
a certain way when they could have just as easily allowed the user determine
what is best for their particular needs. For what it worth, if it was not
for Entourage I would not own any Microsoft products, so your doing a good
job.
Regarding your decision to mute the colors, I'm not sure what version of
Entourage you are using but in my calendar (OSX SR1 10.1.4) the text is gray
(not black) when the event is defined as an "all day" event, hence the
problem.
On my calendar what I see is gray on gray on gray:
- A bluish filled pastel gray square for the day.
- An all day event that is set to "none" in the categories.
(which by default is yet another muted gray)
- Then inside of that there is dark gray text.
(another uneditable shade of a darker gray).
I would assume that a large majority of people have trouble, like I do,
reading gray on gray on gray. :)
Please bring back the colors that were used in OS9, or at least give us a
check box to toggle the muted colors on and off.
And while I've got ya, how come I can no longer have multiple windows on
multiple monitors that remember their position after a relaunch like I could
I OS9?
Thanks.
