hi.
1) in the graphical calendar you can colorize the events, since a class for every category id is used. The example below is for category id 3.
div .fc-event.category-3,
div .fc-event.category-3 a
{
background-color: red;
border-color: red;
}
2) this is all css specific. sure you can change the font-size and many other things, but you need at least some html and css knowledge.

Hi faebu,
Thanks so much for the help! But you’ll have to excuse my silly questions, since I’m having difficulty making this work…
1. Let’s say a category is titled “Concert Board.” How do I find out that category’s ID? I’m unsure how to write that into the css. I want to make multiple color categories, and I’m having trouble making that work.
2. If I want to try changing the font-size and so on, in which css file should I make those changes? Can you point to where specifically I can alter those things?
Thank you SO much!

1. In admin goto Posts
> Categories
. You’ll see all your categories. Move your cursor on the categories name (it’s a link) and you’ll see the ID as a part of the pointing URL.
2. Copy the file wp-content\plugins\wp-calendar\css\fullcalendar.css into the directory wp-content\themes\<yourtheme>\fullcalendar.css. Which css references you have to change, I don’t know. You have to find out by yourself. May be you finde something on the FullCalendars documentation.

you have to make sure, that your css code for category 3 is more “important”. You can do this, by placing the css keyword !important behind the single formats. e.g.
div .fc-event.category-3,
div .fc-event.category-3 a
{
background-color: red !important;
border-color: red !important;
}
You can also handle this by using more specific selectors. there are several rules how these behaves, but to make it simple: the more specific the selector is, the stronger is its format definition. e.g.
div .fc-event.category-2,
div .fc-event.category-2 a
{
background-color: blue
border-color: blue;
}
div.fc-content div.fc-event.category-3,
div.fc-content div.fc-event.category-3 a
{
background-color: red;
border-color: red;
}
Now Categorie 3 is stronger and its format should apply!
Thanks seams to have done the trick
