Same Day events and text overlap each other on calendar, week view

Hello,

When viewing the calendar in week view, days that have more than one event show events and text overlapping.

Is there a way to automatically increase the z-index value for overlapping (shorter time duration) events, and add a solid bg color to differentiate them?

NOTES FROM SCREENSHOT

Currently, in calendar week view, multiple same-day events have overlapping text.

This is a visual example of that corrected by changing elements of events that have shorter time duration.

The following elements have changed:

1. The border color of shorter duration events is darker.

2. The div elements of shorter duration events is placed higher (closer to the views) in the calendars z-index.

3. The div elements of shorter duration events has a solid bg color that covers events behind it.

Thank you for your help with this important issue.

Chris

You can actually set those events to a category, then you can target specific events that belong to the category with some CSS. First, you go to Event Espresso > Calendar and set Enable CSS for Categories to Yes. Then if you haven’t already done so, you assign a category to the events you want to target. The name of the category will be the CSS class. Once that set you can apply background-color, z-index, and border-color.
