Better Display of Holidays in EPIMToday to not oversee or add appt by accident!!!

Post by AJ »

hi admin,
i need at least show holidays by user setting in EPIM Today between weekday and date.
it doesnt need to be neccessairely red or by default, but somehow activated and shown as title inbetween weekday and date.
i would like to use epim.today as main module and clear see holidays to not make any mistakes.
you can get into some trouble not recognize in time its holiday.
i dont want need to set holidays as exclusive appt to bypass this problem, as you may want or need to add some other appt or task as appt.
its very common or standard to show holidays as title in calendar, hope we get it at least as user activated.
thx

We ask that you avoid posting duplicate requests, both by creating multiple new topics and by commenting the same suggestion in various existing threads. Repeating the same request in multiple places can make it harder for other users to follow discussions and find relevant information on the forum. It also makes it more difficult for our team to track and respond to suggestions efficiently.

sorry.
was not sure if the red font was problematic in the last thread or it just got under, as no reaction or progress on that since very long.
its kinda essential to see the holidays on first view, also in epimtoday and not searching as appt.
holiday is all closed and has very much affect on all life and therefore every calendar makes it clear and directly recognized.
i had the feeling had to point it out we get at least first draft of it, no matter if directly activated and in red or as to activate by user, like setting 'show holidays as OR in title' in epimtoday, like all other views do.
i had to check if other views have background of the holiday as sunday, so you see and know it even not checking the title on top. its kinda the core sense of (showing) holidays.
its ok that every user sets his holidays but it should have apropriate appearence and function in all calendar views.
i thought it comes soon but seem at least half year nothing, i thought i could cancel paper calendar in 2025, but now regret, as have no and the showing of country holidays is still like ..., i have no words.

i have to check if we have a clear view in epimtoday. the year seem not needed, like everybody knows it.
holiday should be centered between weekday and date, possibly with option to be lapped over by weekday and date if to long or the width setted to small. but the year is not needed and i would cancel it or add setting to disable showing it in epimtoday. for clear view and quick overview not needed.

to save space and prevent need too often corect width one could bind it on the right with 10 or 20px space to the date and not use year, as not really needed in epimtoday.
in worts case one could make holiday name small, like 8pt, the main is that its there on top in title area between weekday and date, so you know. small holiday size would prevent messing it up or need to shorten dayname to two digit.
thx

hi admin,
i sadly got a bit late the idea of holiday next thursday.
i had to hope you can provide a solution and also make the holidays sometime get into title area in epimtoday.
but i need to find also other solution for that.
i have other problem binding me on using primary quite old version, but i say in the fitting thread, in a minute.
thx

hi admin,
one could add a sizing option to optimal size if holiday in title of a day in epimtoday overlapped or one accepts it and lets the user move size if wanted/needed itself.
i for my part have double and triple size of holiday name free in the title as i made appt section quite width to have task list to begin at a convinient position.
thats my ideas to let it show easy recognizable on first view.

as to get somehow forward on this i give up on using any color, category or anything else for any appt and only create very high contrast for holidays to see them very clear on first sight.
thx
