Just a follow-up on #71. The date text you see at the top in agenda mode (for example, “Friday, August 6″) appears on top of a background color you chose in Google’s embedding tool. Because that color choice happens independently of this script, you will need to add a CSS rule to set a specific color for the date text. Add the following text inside gcalendar-wrapper.php within the section titled “Prepare stylesheet customizations”:

div.date-top { color: #FF0000 !important; }

Change the color code to the color of your choice. You can find color codes at html-color-codes.info.

Hi Omaha (#71), thanks for the heads-up on that. It seems Google has tweaked the calendar code recently and I’ll need to update the script to accommodate. Please check back for a new version in the next few days.

Thank you so much for this wrapper. I’ve been wanting something just like this to embed Google calendar into our sidebar and match the color scheme. It works great (though when I first uploaded the script, I got a copy of our website image in there…glad I read the comments because I realized I needed to log out of Google first).

However, one thing I noticed is that the wrapper doesn’t seem to affect the upper part of the calender in agenda mode. That still is only affected by Google’s embed code. And though I can put a customized color in there for the background, I still can’t change the color of the text. And since we have a dark color scheme, that means black on dark color (bleah!).

Any chance that this part of the calendar in Agenda mode can be affected in a future version of the script?

Hi ChrisR (#67), Google recently made some modifications on their end that changed the tab styles. I have just posted a new copy of the script (version 2010-05-16) that incorporates these changes. The tabs should appear in your custom colors with this latest version.
