Can you add more color/text size customization for the today/soon to come events (today, tomorrow etc)? Even a color gradient or a scaled text size, so the today event is like 150% text size and/or is 100% highlight color, tomorrow is 120% size and/or 80% alpha, inweek events 100% size / 30% alpha, anything else is just 100% text size and no color highlights.

@zyw80 Thank you for suggestion.
First thing that I'm thinking of while trying to imaging me developing this: How do I add all these additional setting to the Settings screens?

Current Layout and Color sections are very long already...

For example, it took long time to invent compact way to describe Date formatting in just one setting, see: #7 Actually, inventing such "Preference component" was the main part of the development...

?!

There is NO problem to program / write app code:

We need to invent a convenient way (i.e. to design User interface, configuration steps, tips for a User..) to configure this feature.
Because we cannot have for everybody one checkbox turning on the one "color palette" from above screenshot...

What do you think about this?

Of course it's only an idea... for example, the number of days to "fade" in the future could be changed or selected from a wider list (3-7-14-30 days?).

  1. As I understand, for linear gradient we need to configure at least two colors: one for the start point and one for the end. Do you mean that we can reuse existing settings for backgrounds of Today's and of Future events?!
  2. The number of days to "fade"... is really helpful, I agree.

Looks interesting and not over complicated: only one additional setting is needed?!
So looks like we need to give this setting easy to understand title and description.
E.g.
Title: "Background color gradient (fading) from Today's background color" (too long?)
...

And we need this gradient's preview also (in place of current solid future events background color)

?!
