Did you know you can colourise your calendar entries in such a way that you can with one glance see what type of meeting or appointment your calendar entries are?

. - Click OK
. - To the right of the Category field you find an option called Assign Colors…:
. - Click on it and this popup appears:
. - Click on one of the buttons looking like the button the arrow in the illustration above is pointing at to select the category or categories you want to give a certain colour
