2007 Calendar bold dates hard to see

[Ed]

In Office 2007 calendar, no matter what color scheme is being used, the bold
dates (where something is scheduled) are hard to distinguish from the
non-bold ones in my 3 month calendar view pane on the left. Is there any
way, like a registry tweak/change, where I can change it to make all the
scheduled dates something like BOLD and RED(or another color) or maybe BOLD
and a larger font size for those dates? Something to make them really stand
out. Thanks.

I feel your pain... Outlook color scheme is misguided. I have a hard time
distinguishing "today" from the rest on the days in the one month view. They
should allow you to pick a different color background for "today" and other
dates you want to highlight. MS has never been one to allow too much control
of the GUI for some reason... leave that to third party apps.

You can't control the look other than via the windows scheme and pixel
setting, which will affect all programs.

what resolution do you use? mine are easy to see but I use the highest
resolution my computer supports - lower resolutions often results in less
sharp text and that makes it hard to distinguish bold from normal.

1280 x 1024, 85 hz, 32 bit color, Viewsonic Graphics Series 19" CRT. I do a
lot of Photoshop work so it is set up well and looks great.

These are the bolded days of the month for the 3 month view in the left pane
of the calendar. Right now I have April, May, and June showing. Yes, you
can see there some bolded numbers but sometimes you think one is or is not
bolded and you check and you see you are wrong. If they would have just made
them a different color or given ME, the customer, the option of choosing what
I prefer. Maybe highlighted them in yellow also?
