Hi,

Thank you for your help. This is how I am currently changing the colour of closed days.

The thing is that if I want to exclude Saturdays and Sundays as being the weekend, national holidays (as dates), bank holidays (as dates), and absences (as dates again) I will have to specify the same colour each time. So I was wondering if I can change the "closed" colour and thus have it used for all the days labeled "closed" and use the colour override in case I want to highlight separate dates for whatever reason.

Kind regards,

L.
