Assign categories and color to timeblock
I know someone have posted this already but I don’t understand how come assigning the color to timeblocks is not available in the first place. One important feature of Timeline in any calendars is to distinguish tasks between different categories like school, work and others AT A GLANCE.
Ways that I figure out now are
1. Add custom color to desired tag and add the tag to the daily note so that the typing word in the timeblock is highlighted.
But still, you cannot distinguish tasks at a glance in your timeline compared to different colors for entire timeblocks. Also, it seems the highlight in the timeblock doesn’t work in the dark theme (?)
2. Create different calendars in Apple calendar and add timeblocks by “Event”. This way you can create a timeblock in different color by assigning it to desired calendar.
It may be my own problem, but, I found that it is hard to manage embedded “Event” in the daily note. Even you create the timeblock in your timeline with “Event”, it doesn’t autogenerate “hh:mm-hh:mm” in the note. Like I love to align all the timeblocks with time in the daily note under one section and this embedded “Event” always seems odd. Or I should generate another timeblock for this event by “timeblock” which will result in a replicate in your timeline. Also, I don’t want to get the highlight on the calendar overview every day for tasks like school classes.
So, I hope that we can add “categories” for timeblocks and custom their colors. And you can simply add the timeblock and change the color by “clicking the timeblock on the timeline” and “assign this timeblock to desired category and so does the color”. It will make my timeline work lots more efficient.
And how about we could toggle on and off the auto-generation of “hh:mm-hh:mm” for “Event” just like timeblock? I really get confused like when should I use “event” or “timeblock” due to this little feature lol.
Thank you.
