Has anyone > implemented this solution? 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) http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/jfk/jfk.html 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".
