Preserving event color ICSx⁵ vs DAVx⁵

loquwdex

I’ve been a long time user of DAVx⁵, and circumstances have required me to change to use ICSx⁵. The out-of-box experience for both products have been outstanding.

I would like events to be displayed with their assigned color (like DAVx⁵) if available.

The difference I’ve noticed is that COLOR assigned to an event is not preserved. The event below is assigned the color crimson, but as shown in the screen shot, only the DAVx⁵ appointment preserves the color:

Here is the record from CalDav:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//XXX//CalSync//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:233c841e-1fd3-49cd-ac16-3c48333006c4

COLOR:crimson
DTSTAMP:20190212T164806Z

END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Here is the fragment from WebCal:

BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:233c841e-1fd3-49cd-ac16-3c48333006c4
DTSTART:20190212T164754Z

COLOR:crimson
DTSTAMP:20190212T164806Z

TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
END:VEVENT

The fragments have much the same content, but only one shows up as crimson.

With https://gitlab.com/bitfireAT/icsx5/commit/f9f34569d81efe26f0f00652924d546ae54dbdc5, ICSx⁵ now supports per-event colors, too.

Thank you for the fast turnaround. I look forward to trying this in the next update.
