	Hi, I'm looking for a calendar control for a new application we're desigining, and Planner.NET looks ideal - but... What I need to be able to do is colour specific days in the calendar according to data we've got about them. Why? Well, the system is to be used to manage shift patterns for workers, and we need to be able to show which shifts are active on the days of the month. Each shift can be given its own colour (elsewhere in the system), so what I would like is to be able to display the colours of the active shifts in a date's cell in the month view. (And also the shift names, if possible.) Is this possible in Planner.NET? Thanks, James

	Answered my own question. Just needed to set CustomDraw to DayContents and then handle it in the Draw event. Cool!

	Ah, not quite. When I set the theme to Windows 2003, my code stops having any effect. Suggestions?

	That's great Anyway we had created a small custom drawing example before I saw you managed to do it, here it is: https://mindfusion.org/_samples/Shifts.zip It actually shows two methods for custom-coloring days in a SingleMonth view. The first one uses the built-in custom formatting for days and day ranges. It allows for simpler, but more limited way to customize days' appearance. The second one implements custom drawing by handling the Draw event. Stoyan

	In that theme the day header height might be as big as the whole cell. Try explicitly setting the header space using the calendar.DaySettings.HeaderSize property after setting the theme.

	Aha! Thanks - this is beginning to look great! Thanks for excellent support. Now I know I can do what we want with the control, I can get on with specifying the system for our customer. If we get the contract, I'll be using Planner.NET!
