How do I change the event colours on Howbout?

Want to customise how your events appear in your calendar? You can change the color of any event you’ve created, and multiple events at once.

To change a single event’s color:

  1. Open the event you want to edit.
  2. Tap the color droplet icon in the top right corner.
  3. Choose your preferred colour.
  4. The new colour will now appear in your calendar view (others won’t see it).

🔍 Note: When you’re viewing a friend’s calendar, all of your own events and calendars will temporarily appear in one colour to avoid confusion.

Want to change your default event color?

  1. Head to the calendar (📅) tab.
  2. Tap Settings (⚙️) in the top right hand corner.
  3. Head to Preferences and tap “Default event settings”
  4. You'll be able to set default color your events are when added to the calendar

Want to change your event colors in bulk?

  1. Head to the calendar (📅) tab.
  2. Tap Settings (⚙️) in the top right hand corner.
  3. Tap “Events & friends” at the top.
  4. Change multiple event colors at the same time by selecting the color droplet next to your event names.
