Changing the Calendar Background

Why: Make the calendar match your website branding and improve visual integration.

 
How:
				
					/* Change background color of entire calendar */
.upto-calendar {
    background-color: #f5f5f5; /* light gray, change to your brand color */
}
				
			
				
					/* Optional: Change background of calendar header */
.upto-calendar .calendar-header {
background-color: #d32f2f; /* example: red */
color: white;
}

Modifying Font Style and Size

Why: Improve readability and match your website typography.

 
How:
				
					/* Change font for calendar titles and events */
.upto-calendar,
.upto-calendar .event-title {
font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px; /* adjust as needed */
}
				
			
				
					/* Change font color */
.upto-calendar .event-title {
color: #333; /* dark gray */
}

Customizing Event Colors

Why: Differentiate events by type or make them match your branding colors.

 
How:
				
					/* Change color of events */
.upto-calendar .event {
background-color: #4CAF50; /* green */
color: white; /* text color */
border-radius: 4px; /* rounded corners */
}
				
			
				
					/* Hover effect */
.upto-calendar .event:hover {
background-color: #388E3C; /* darker green on hover */
}

Adjusting Calendar Size

Why: Ensure the calendar fits your page layout and is mobile-friendly.

 
How:
				
					/* Set max width and center calendar */
.upto-calendar {
max-width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
				
			
				
					/* Adjust height if needed */
.upto-calendar iframe {
height: 600px; /* increase or decrease based on your design */
}

Hiding Unnecessary Elements

Why: Simplify the calendar UI for a cleaner look.

 
How:
				
					/* Hide calendar footer */
.upto-calendar .calendar-footer {
display: none;
}
				
			
				
					/* Hide specific buttons (like print or share) */
.upto-calendar .button-class { /* replace .button-class with the actual class */
display: none;
}

Adding Custom Borders or Shadows

Why: Make the calendar stand out visually from surrounding content.

 
How:
				
					.upto-calendar {
border: 2px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
 

Tips & Best Practices

Use brand colors consistently for a professional look. Test changes on desktop and mobile to ensure readability and usability. Use browser dev tools (Inspect Element) to identify exact CSS classes if the calendar updates or uses dynamic classes. Keep a backup of your custom CSS in case the calendar embed code changes.
