        @nocturn-adrift For myself I don't need more categories. In fact I would be happy with no separate categories at all.

          You can do it by yourself by creating appropriate file(s) in /home/phablet/.config/evolution/sources directory. You can use predefined birthdays.source file as an example, e.g.:

          new filename:
          notes.source

          content:

          
          [Data Source]
          DisplayName=Notes
          DisplayName[cs]=Poznámky
          Enabled=true
          Parent=local-stub
          
          [Calendar]
          BackendName=local
          Color=#77216f
          Selected=true
          
          [Ubuntu]
          AccountId=0
          ApplicationId=
          AutoRemove=true
          Writable=true
          Metadata=
          
          

          Change DisplayName and Color variables to whatever is desired. (e.g. get color values from here https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_hexadecimal.asp).

            @c4pp4 Just wanted to personally thank you for this. I have finally got around to doing this manually and I can already tell a big difference in my pleasure using evolution-calandar(?).

            A screenshot of UT Calandar, with three events market in three colors: Dark Adobe Red, Cool Hawaiian Punch Blue, and Pale Moon Blue; each of these with the listed events listed: "n/a", "12:00 - 18:00 Shift", and "23:00 - 23:20 Plan for the Week Ahead", respectively.

            I have decided to eventually get around to making a script to automatically apply the defaults I suggested in the future.

                Here are some more calendar problems:
                The birthday calendar is fed from the address book. Unfortunately, I have not found out how I can change the dates from the birthday calendar. For some people I now have the birthday entry in the calendar 3 or 4 times.

                The other problem with the calendar: I once entered an appointment while on holiday in a different time zone. After I returned home and changed the time zone of the mobile phone back to my normal time zone, this appointment was moved in the calendar by the number of hours of the time difference.
                By the way, I have a Volla X23 phone and am on RC 2024-W03.

                  Just select your contact in address-book-app, you should see the Birthday appearing and edit the contact. Just noticed that due to probably my local tests here the birthday persist even after modification on some contacts

                    @kugiigi I guess this seems like a doable project for me to do. I'm not much of a coder, but I would assume adding a couple categories could be doable for me. I am just baffled that there isn't a "Work" or vocational category.

                    humm how could you make it without coding :face_without_mouth: ? Btw adding a ticket to calendar-app repo would be a good start

                      I've pushed something, https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-calendar-app/-/merge_requests/232
                      This allows to create and remove a local calendar

                      Test welcome.

                        Yes, that's my problem. Once the birthdays are added to the birthday calendar, they stay there forever. If you change something in the address book, more entries can be added. I have three entries in the birthday calendar for the same person several times.
