  • Skill:
    The date on the calendar may have multi-styles, such as system current date display on calendar first have "General day" style, also have "Today" style, and also have "Day have event(s)" style if today have to do event(s), so when you config the display style, it's better set different display styles for different items, such as you can set "Today" have red border, and set "Day have event(s)" text is underline, so that when display on calendar, you can see today have both red border and underlined text, very clear at a glance, but if you set "Day have event(s)" as blue border, then you'll can't see today's red border style.
