korganizer screenshot

I use gmail calendar to keep korganizer synchronized with my mobile and tablet.

Different colors are selected for the contacts, Spanish holidays, etc. but these different colors do not reflect in the "month view", all the entries show in green.
Comment 1 Allen Winter 2017-11-29 15:19:40 UTC
in the KOrganizer configuration settings, go to the Views page and click the Month View tab.  In there you'll see various options for Color Usage.  play with those settings to see if you can configure the colors as you wish.

Hi guys. I am Roosevelt. I'm using KOrganizer on MXlinux (Debian 11) Wildflower. All events have the same color and there is no option for setting the color of an event in the event creation window. Is there a way around this. Note: I'm a die hard for KDE products. Please help me.

The original problem has been explained by Allen, the last comment from Roosevelt is unrelated.

Event colors depend on calendar colors, you can't change event colors when editing/creating them and you can't assign individual colors to events (well, actually you somewhat can do that through categories/tags). You can configure calendar color by right-clicking the calendar in the calendar manager view and selecting "Set Folder Color", then all events from that calendar should have the same color. Also make sure to check the configuration (Settings->Configure KOrganizer->Views->(Agenda|Month|Todo) View->Color usage and pick "Tag outside, calendar inside" - despite the name the event will have the color of the calendar, unless it has a tag with a color assigned, then it will have background color of the tag/category and frame color matching the color of the calendar.

Do you mind explaining why this is the design? why was korganizer color
assignment designed like that? In your opinion, isnt it easy to simply
assign individual colors to event/tasks?

This design predates my involvement in KDE by many years, so I can't comment on why it is done this way.

To me it makes no sense to be able to assign an arbitrary color to a single event, if the color is not connected to some other information - like for example a category. If you create a "Personal" category and assign it some color, then any event with this category assigned will have the color of that category (details depend on configuration in KOrganizer, as I mentioned in my previous comment). That makes sense to me and is already possible.
