 * Listen, I love this events calendar plugin. It is easily one of my favourites,
   so please keep up your great work, but, I am losing patience with having to edit
   the php code to change colors after every update. For example, the nominated “
   red” color for event days and current day etc, does not suit my site or theme.
   The removal of all style information from the code to the events-calendar.css
   would make updating this plugin much less painful.
 * Thank you.

    I agree… Please create a style for each element and put it into the
   CSS file! Your app is fantastic but its very painful to style… pleassseee make
   this a priority.

 * Author might even include an option to exclude CSS altogether, so that site admins
   can put the CSS directly in their theme’s style.css. That avoids an additional
   HTTP request at page load. 🙂

 * I’d like to add my vote to removing the inline css. This almost completely ruins
   this plugin. Also, could someone list the changes they made to alter all of that
   garish red? I’ve edited every file with a find-replace on “red” and I’m still
   getting red event dates. Thanks!

 * I have the same problem with that god forsaken red box around it…
 * and I tried to style it, but no luck…

 * Oh.. it should have been a question…
    Where in the events-calendar.css do you
   remove the red border ???
 * I haven’t been able to find it, and I tried to change almost every line ….

 * I haven’t been able to get rid of the red border with css in the css file. However,
   I did figure out where to change it. Open up ec_calendar.class.php and look for
   this line.
 *  $dayID = (“$month/$day/$year” == date(‘m/j/Y’)) ? ” id=\”today\” style=\”border:
   thin solid red;\”” : “”;
 * change the red to what you want. hexidecimal will work. change the text color
   in the options in events calendar admin options.

 * A separate CSS file or some way to override it would be great!

 * I am using the newest events-calendar and found the styling embedded in the file
   called template-functions.php
    in lines 27,28 and 30. just delete all the styling
   in the div tag and its all good. great widget, the inline embedded styling really
   confused me though.

 * Having same frustrations as everyone above. Particularly, in my widget calendar,
   days with events have the text color of red (no border, just the red text). I
   can’t find this anywhere…anyone have any ideas?

 * I’m also having the same problems as chromezen. I went through and can’t find
   what’s controlling the bright red text. I’ve removed every instance of “color:
   red” in the JS files and looked for any hex codes, but no dice. Removing ALL 
   the CSS does not affect the red text. What is controlling this?

 * My only other thought is that the style is pulling from the default WordPress
   calendar. But that wouldn’t explain why I can see the color as red when inspected
   through firebug (element.style {color: red;)…thoughts?

 * hey there. you want to look at the ec3.css file in the root of the event-calendar
   plugin directory.
 * look for this css class around line 120.
 * > .ec3_list {
   >  margin-left:-12px; word-spacing:-1px; letter-spacing:-0.2px; color:#
   > 800; }
 * i agree, the css for this needs to be more assessable. maybe if this (and all
   css for this plugin) were added to the appearance settings in wordpress it would
   be easier for people to find.

 * I’m using the events calendar in the large-view. I’ve bin trying to set the calendar
   to a smaller fit in the page. This works for the table by adjusting the margin
   but it doesn’t works for the months above it. I can’t find the div “calendar_wrapLarge”
   in the css, in this div the months are located. Does anyone know where I can 
   adjust this?

 * [@edward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edward/): appreciate the help but
   I think you’re referring to the wrong plugin. I’m using the EVENTS Calendar plugin…
   not the Event Calendar 3 plugin. Too similar, I know…

 * I’m trying to make the current day of the month in the large calendar not show
   up as blue. I found that color in the css file, but when i change it… it’s still
   blue. It must be somewhere else also, but I don’t seem to be able to find it 
   on the css sheet that changes the color of the event text and the top of each
   day. Anyone else know what needs to be changed to change the color of the current
   day on the large calendar?
 * Thanks!
