    I’ve just updated Lightning to version 2007080205 from 20070725.
    I noticed a new bug. The parameter “day starts at” is ignored. When I switch between Mail and Calendar windows with day or week views, days are always shown from 00AM.
    Thank you for this must have extension. Keep up the good work.

    The new event / task dialog box is a winner, tx to all concerned!

    Hi,
    The buttons to switch between calendar and mail at the bottom of the right pane and the multiweek view are great improvements. But in Lightning 0.7pre every event has a white background color. White on white: very hard to find the start and the end time of an event on the first view. In Lightning 0.5 every event had a light blue background. That was much more better.
    Can i change the colors/background graphics by myself?

    @Guido:
    This is a known bug that will be fixed for the 0.7 release.

    Hi, I was wondering if in some stage, you will add support to Oracle Calendar… I were trying to use Oracle Mozilla Extension unsuccesfully… thanks
