Event.setColor is not working

[edulid]

CalendarEvent: ev1.setBackgroundColor("red"); is not working. Same for ev1.setTextColor("red");
Since I am setting these colors from the DB, would it be possible to set the margin color in a similar way? I know you can set: setStyleName() , but it would be nice to have an API for setting the margin-color, similarly as the text-color and the background-color. Using smartgwt 6.0p power 13.08.16

        VLayout vlayout = new VLayout();

        calendar.setHeight(451);
        calendar.setStartDate(new Date(112, 5, 2));
        calendar.setEndDate(new Date(112, 5, 22));
        calendar.setCanEditLane(true);
        calendar.setShowEventDescriptions(false);

        HeaderLevel[] headerLevels = new HeaderLevel[] { new HeaderLevel(TimeUnit.WEEK),
                new HeaderLevel(TimeUnit.DAY) };
        calendar.setHeaderLevels(headerLevels);
        calendar.setLaneFields(new ListGridField[] { new ListGridField("title", "Developer", 120) });
        calendar.setLanes(TimelineLaneData.getRecords());
        calendar.setData(TimelineData.getRecords());
        calendar.setCanEditLane(false);

        vlayout.addMember(calendar);

        vlayout.setWidth100();
        vlayout.setHeight100();
        vlayout.draw();

The color attributes you're setting are for the body (or description) of the event - but your code calls setShowEventDescriptions(false), so the body is not visible.

Either, show the bodies of the events, at which time colors will cha6nge, or use setHeader[Text/Background]Color instead.

When you say "margin-color", we're not sure what you mean - do you mean the canvas border?

I mean the canvas border color, yes. So something similar as setHeader[Text/Background]Color, but for the border color.

You can only currently do that by applying a custom CSS style. However, we'll add CalendarEvent support for borderColor and headerBorderColor into our next release, 6.1.

[edulid]

wouldn't it be possible to include these methods in some of the next releases of 6.0?
what I am trying to achieve is to get the colors from the DB. So setHeaderBackgroundColor() was perfect. I would need something similar for the borders.
If I have to appy a custom CSS style, then I cannot dynamically set the colors from the DB. I would have to define a set of styles and then set the corresponding style. So it would not be possible to change configuration on-the-fly, by chagning the color defined in the DB.

We've ported CalendarEvent.setBorderColor() and setHeaderBorderColor() back to 6.0 - you can try them out in builds dated October 5 and later.

Thank you!
