I have looked at your example (thank's a lot for them, they are pretty
nice), and I found the following:

* Your type attribute is not visible any more in the HTML text
rendered, an event looks there like:
<div class="timeline-event-label" id="label-tl-0-0-e4" style="left:
2638px; width: 97px; top: 22px">G20 Toronto summit</div>
<div class="timeline-event-icon" id="icon-tl-0-0-e733" style="left:
2562px; top: 6px">
<img src="http://eoi.oecdco.de/js/timeline/src/webapp/api/images/green-
circle.png"/>
</div>
* So by naming the icon, you can define the color (red vs. green).
* Because the attributes class and id are used, I see no chance to
enhance the display by just using CSS. But perhaps I could go with the
icon idea.

So thank you a lot for your answer
