Custom Style with CSS
You can change the color of your calendar and many more properties using CSS. Your customization has priority over the Skin you choose. Below, you can choose from a few customizations we prepared for you.
- You can change the background color of the calendar.
- You can change the color of the elements which can be clicked.
- You can change the background color of the current date.
- If you like to have a different color for the days, you can specify this, too.
- Some days of the calendar have a different color if they are not within the month.
You can specify your own CSS properties if you like.

Hosting the Specification
The calendar can be generated not only using the url but also through a JSON or YAML specification which resides in a file. The customization from above generates this specification:
You can download this specification and place it somewhere on the web. This way you are still in control over the customization of the calendar after you shared the link, e.g. on GitHub in a Gist. Once you have placed the specification somewhere online, you can create a link like this one .
