 * Hi – I have event types and event locations. I put them all in event categories
   but I see that each event can only have 1 color (or border). I would love to 
   have the types have certain background colors and the locations have certain 
   border colors and they all mix and match as assigned. Is this possible? I guess
   I could create categories of every possible combination and do it that way……
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * Unfortunately CSS just doesn’t work that way. The last declared identical selectors
   will have precedence.
 * You could hide one or more of the categories, say locations, and have the coloring
   based upon event types, but the search would also include locations.
