Default Highlight or shade weekend days

Thank you for your suggestion.

I considered the all-day event idea, however I try to avoid "all-day" events
since they tend to turn into multi-day events when daylight savings time
occurs, or when I travel and the time zone is changed. (That is an issue I
have been fighting with Outlook for the last three versions...it has
improved, but never been really fixed).

Since outlook has settings to designate work week, I would assume there
would be some way to show this on the calendar in the same manner as the
"work hours" are shown on the day view. (There should be a setting or option
to shade weekend days, or shade workdays.)

I would hope the folks at Microsoft are familiar with weekends....

When using Outlook 2007 (Windows XP) Calendar with the month view, the 2003
version combined Saturday and Sunday into a single day block. After reading
many of the postings, it is apparent that this feature has been omitted from
Outlook 2007.

As an alternative, is there a way to differentiate the weekend days from the
weekdays with some type of shading, or pattern, or something just to make
them appear different from weekend days?


Assign all-day events to them and color-categorize the events.
