Calendar Dates in List View Need to Pop More

[Nat Katin-Borland]

Dates on the Calendar list view don’t pop enough. If you mouse over them they get darker, but until you mouse over them they are barely legible. Maybe we can just have the dates default to the darker mouse over color? I think this would make them much easier to read. Additionally, we need more spacing/differentiation between events in the List View. Can we do an alternating grid style that looks more like the Files section?

Balazs, we weren't given a color to use, but perhaps you can use your own judgement.

The question is most likely "yes" to both questions.

[Balazs Ree (ree)]

... the answer is yes even ;)

I asked Blaise to revert the 100% width to the exact pixel width where it was. I would like to explain why.

Currently the day / week / month and the list views, use the same width. The day/week/month views cannot be made fluid without requiting their grid css entirely: they work with two layouts "wide" and "narrow".

Previously "wide" was used in the Universal calendar, and "narrow" layout in the normal calendar. In ux2, this change is done based on the viewport width, so you will get narrow or wide as you need, independently if you are in universal or normal calendar.

Currently we have two options with the list view:

1. leave it also have one of the fixed layout (so it will behave identically to the day/week/month view). This happens if Blaise reverts the 100% width. At a later time we can make all calendar views fluid and properly viewable on mobile devices.

2. or, make the list view fluid now. In this case the 100% needs to be brought back and the class has to be separated. BUT. In my opinion we may not want to do that, as it may be disturbing for the user if the width (of the toolbar and the calendar) changes when the view is switched!

Let's do the safest, quickest, least risky approach.

looks good

The Dates pop more, but we seem to have picked up another List View bug. What's going on with the event times? See screenshot. Each time says "Even" or "Odd". This is happening for the Global Staff and Community calendars.

Balazs, hopefully this is an easy one.
