I believe in the WEEK interval unit, the weekends are painted in yellow,
which might be hard to see. Can you detect those yellow weekend strips
in this example? (scroll the top band to see October)

No interval lines are drawn in the WEEK interval unit. Take a look in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/ether-painters.js
and search for "this.createIntervalMarker". You'll find something like
if (showLine && unit != Timeline.DateTime.WEEK) {
... paint line ...
}
if (unit == Timeline.DateTime.WEEK) {
... paint weekend ...
}
You can override Timeline.EtherIntervalMarkerLayout if you want to
change that behavior.
As for the color of the weekend, it's specified in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/themes.js
and you can change it with something like
theme.ether.interval.weekend.color = "#aaaaaa".
