Next time can you flesh out the descriptions properly on the tracker as different bugs rather than a word document. This patch seems to have clumped a whole lot of changes together without any discussion about the merits of each one.

This in particular worries me:

"4. Single Course events on/off key will be replaced by up to three course event keys including applicable course shortnames. If the user has more than three courses then some of the colours and on/off switches will be reused i.e. red = CF101, CF104; green=CF102; blue=CF103. The number 3 could be discussed or made easily alterable in software, we chose it because 99.4% of our students are on 3 or fewer courses."

I've attached a screenshot for how the "put courses randomly into three categories" approach looks for me as admin on moodle.org (pretty terrible). There must be a better way for all of us who are not an OU student

• the courses seem to be randomly divided into three different colours with no clear reason. The effect for most people is a bewildering array of colours that means nothing at all.
• the course names are shown as NUMBERS after the first four
• the hide/show buttons for each one of the course colours actually acts on all three

IMO, this is a big step backward in usability AND accessibility. I would revert this immediately while we look for a better way to achieve what you aiming for.

Perhaps we need to add a section in the calendar preferences where each user can manually choose a colour for each of their courses.

With regard to course names, it is the course shortname that is displayed. You get the course id's if there are no course shortnames.

Pity nobody has been paying any attention to calendar, as there were quite a few other issues that were also fixed, and nobody at all has responded to the proposed changes, in the bug tracker and in the forum, until now.

Most of the changes were great, thank you. The problem is just this one aspect.
