After seeing a few mutterings on Twitter in regards to Google changing the colours on the various calendars people have set up in Google Calendar, I thought I’d check my own.
Yup. New colours. Completely different to my old settings.
And you know, it is great to have more colour choices – (previously there were only about 10) – as the colours make it easy to categorise calendar entries.
But seriously Google – don’t just change them! The colours I chose for my particular calendars have particular meanings.
When I see green, I know an appointment is work related – I didn’t see any green this morning. Fortunately I had nothing calendarised for today – but I didn’t see any green for tomorrow either, and there is work stuff there – and I might not have seen it if I’d not seen the colour changes.
Not the end of the world – and not difficult to change back – but not a great way to endear people to your changes either!
