Note:

 If both your calendar and the DualDate shared calendar have events scheduled for the same 

time, tapping either event in Dual Calendar Week View mode will display one of the two Event 
Descriptions. Which Description is selected is arbitrary. To see both Descriptions, switch to Dual 
Calendar Day View. 

 

Color and Grayscale Coding of Events 

Palm DualDate makes it easy to distinguish which events belong to each calendar. In Day View and 
Week View calendars are assigned identifying color or grayscale shading. 
 
On a color device, your Date Book calendar color code defaults to blue and the shared calendar 
defaults to red. However, you can change these colors. 
 
On a grayscale device, the DualDate grayscale shading is pre-determined and cannot be changed.
