Description

This add-on causes two markup changes in of Google Calendar. Event names containing a colon (:) will have the part before the colon being displayed as a colored tag that helps discerning different kinds of events without the need for creating dozens of calendars. For example: "Tag: Event name" becomes "[Tag] Event name". Event names ending with a question mark will be displayed in italic and transparent, as a kind of optional or yet to be confirmed event. Google Calendar is a trademark of Google Inc. Use of this trademark is subject to Google Permissions.

Have no idea how to use this. I will be removing it. There are no directions and i can see that several people have also asked the same thing and the creator has not responded to any of them. I do not recommend this!!!

Is this extension even working still? I can't get it to work and there are no instructions either.

I tried to make it work but there are no clear instructions. It woudln't hurt to have a visual walkthrough as to how to make this work since it is somewhat counterintuitive. I already spent too much time trying to make it work and nothing. Maybe it is outdated and no longer working.

Really wanted this extension, as I need to be able to highlight scheduled events in color in order for a calendar to be useful. But no matter what I tried, could not get it to work. The "options" tab remains greyed out, and there are no directions anywhere; the developer's site has nothing.

I was wondering how to use it - the Google or Perplexity search did not get any results

This is a great idea, but unfortunately, the extension is unusable for people who either use colons in event titles (e.g., "Email Jackie re: starting project") or receive invitations to events that have colons in the title (e.g., "Session 1: Blah Blah Blah"). As soon as I installed it, several events within the next week suddenly had "tags" that were actually just the first chunk of the event title. It seems like this should be easy to customize. Theoretically, I might set my tag signifier to a symbol I rarely use in event titles, like ^ or \, and the problem would be solved completely. But alas, when I tried to manage my settings, I was only able to turn the extension on or off. When I tried to go to the app website, it showed only a CGI video about something unrelated. For reasons that are a mystery to me, the app also turned one of my events transparent and italicized the title, even after I removed the colon that was originally in the title. The issue didn't resolve until I turned off the app entirely. Bummer :(
