[Kolab-devel] [issue3627] Restore "Default event color" as was present in proko2

[Thomas Ribbrock]

New submission from Thomas Ribbrock <itsef-admin at brightsight.com>:

In the Calendar part (KOrganizer) of proko2, there used to be a "Default event
color" under Settings -> Colors. With this option, it was possible to define a
colour that would be applied to all events that do not have a category set, in
addition to the resource colour (never used it without resource colours, as I
was always using at least two resources).

In enterprise35, this option first got broken (i.e. did not have any effect
anymore - events without category suddenly were painted with a variation of the
corresponding resource colour instead of the default event colour), then later
partially removed (for a full history, please refer to issue2472 ), so it only
is used when no resource colours are used (AFAIK).

Given that this removes a very useful feature that was present in proko2 and
that there is no other way to make "category-less" events stand out while also
using resource colours, I would like to ask to re-introduce this feature in some
form in enterprise35 (and subsequent - never looked at e4 so far).

For some additional description and *one* possible idea for a solution, please
refer to msg17802 .
