 * Hi,
 * I am trying to customize the templates of the plugin for a website but am a bit
   confused where I can modify what output in the templates. (I don’t want to do
   it in the admin panel since the layout is template related and I want it to stick
   with the custom template)
 * I already figured out, how to change the display of a single event by creating
   and modifying single-event.php.
    Now what I want to do to change is the events
   list (normally found under blog/events) – can I create a template file like the
   single-event.php for this purpose?
 * Otherwise if this is not possible, is there a way to have different layouts for
   the shortcode [evets_list_grouped …] ?
    I need to have the layout quite complex
   with tables/divs similar to the options that are available under settings > formatting
   > events
 * Another thing, is there a shortcode for listing categories with their names and
   colors?
 * Thank you for your help

 * using shortcode like [events_list_grouped] – you can try something like
 *     ```
       [events_list_grouped mode="monthly" date_format="M Y" format_header="<table>" format_footer="</table>"]
   
       <tr> <td> #_EVENTNAME </td> </tr>
   
       [/events_list_grouped]
       ```
