Sync event-colors from google calendar

It would be nice to give the events in the calendar single colors instead of the whole calendar one unique color. I use only one calendar (google calandar) and in the browser the google calendar is much better to view because of the different colors.

Hello,
syncing event colors from google calendar is not currently possible, but you can categorize it in eM Client after synchronization.

hello, is there any progress on this ?

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not possible, Calendar colours can be synchronized but with events there is problem that there is no way how we can send data about it’s colour.

So until Google will add variable for this we will implement it as well,

Don’t blame Google anymore! The Calendar 5 Appl for iPad has an Event Color field that synchonizes perfectly with Google Calendar. So there’s clearly a field in Google Calendar than synchonizes. eM Client is great! Except for this. So please, please, please try to synchonized event colors! Thanks, Jono

Hi, thank you for your suggestion, we’ll consider improving this in future releases.

Thank you,
Paul.

I would also very much like to see this feature.  I have calendar apps on my Nexus 5 and iPad which correctly display google calendar colours and allow syncing of colours in both directions.  Colour coding of different types of event (in month view particularly) is really important to me and helps a lot in viewing my calendar.

Please consider adding this to eM Client.  Thanks for the great app, I really like it a lot.

+1.  I use color extensively to categorize my calendars events.  It is extremely inefficient use of my time to have to do this twice manually (once on gmail, then again in em).  These tools should make us more efficient, not less.

Hiya, Any progress on this? I really need this too!

Same question, what’s the status on the color sync?

Is it possible somehow now to have event colors?
The tag color in the calendar of eMClient doesn’t hold much value for me as it doesn’t sync with Google calendar (correct me if I’m wrong).
It’s really a missing and crucial feature (e.g. for highlighting deadlines)

As @Olivia_Rust advised back in 2016 the problem was the Google API didn’t allow the changing of Calendar event colours in third party mail apps. So I suspect is still the case, but I’m sure eM Client devs will update the client if it’s possible to do in a future Google .API.

But I am able to view event color in other third party applications (CalenGoo). If they are able to get the colors from Google, I guess, there has to be a way to get them through Google API. Otherwise, how would I be able seeing those colors (yes, specific event colors, not calendar colors) in this App?
I’ll send some pictures later.


This is how it looks in Google Calendar. Both events are in the same calendar (pink), one is set to a different event color.


This is the view of the calendar client on my phone - as you see, event color is the same.


In the event settings in this client, I can also change the event color (here the first event with no different event color)


(and here the other event, set to another event color)

Support states the following when I asked about it:

It is not possible at the moment because the concept is different to what we use, and to what is supported with all other calendars.

So the Google API doesn’t seem to be the reason why it is not implemented yet.

Funny - in the linked topic, someone wrote that it was already possible back then :smiley:
There are even open source tools available with that implementation.
I don’t know what is so different about the “concept” that eM Client uses… but they surely use the Google API, no?
Even the UI workes the same (with tags), so it seems like not that much of a hassle to support that.
