    All my google calendars appear with the same colour! Checking the info of each event, every one is assigned to the same calendar, no matter with calendar was the original for this event. Any idea?

    Congrats on the great strides. Are these bug fixes making it into the release or just the nightlies?

    Munroe,
    these fixes will all make it into the next release (0.9).

    Something is wrong with the gdata provider or Lighting itself in the last nightlies.
    All the events are assigned to the last added Google calendar, with all the attributes. And the today pane shows all the events “color-less”.

    Hello,
    How can I use the progresses with Bug 202360 in order to also change the color of the small square by each event in the Today Pane?
    Thanks.

    Ulysse:
    It’s a feature. The Today Pane can be enabled/disabled separately for mail, calendar and task mode.

    Very nice program. Only thing that stops me using it is I cannot print out individual tasks. Is this in the pipeline for Lightning?

    @ ssitter.
    In other words: from menu it is possible set to visible = false the “today pane”, but from toolbar not it is possible!
    I use nightly version
    Lightning 0.9pre (2008051519).
    Ciao and thanks.

    @ulysse
    try to reset your toolbar via the Restore Default Set button on the Customize Toolbar dialog. Maybe you used a nightly build that was affected by Bug 431829.

    The color-bug of google calendar seems to be fixed in the latest nightly, but today pane still displays the events colorless.

    Hello
    I’ve been emailing about this for almost two years and never got a sign of life. I hope this time it gets to be read.
    There is one big thing missing from Sunbird : a Year view. People need to be able to click forward/back a year at a time, not just months/weeks/days.
    Would it be possible to get this point on the UI discussion ? If this is the wrong place to post, can anyone point me to the correct one ?
    thanks people
