Highlighting the Current Day in Outlook 2013 Calendar

19

In Microsoft Outlook 2013, the current day is highlighted by a slightly different color blue at the top of the day. Is there a way to alter this highlighting to make it more obvious at a glance to see the current date?

I manually created 0min long appointment with subject "NOW" and a nice orange class. I then run this PowerShell script to keep it starting at current time: https://0bin.net/paste/kUp5SqJqj+P-Idmb#286HTTh3Q9GkUD6ic92L55PTIJ6LB9YnikHiDsRlHvw

You can do this:

  1. choose default color grey
  2. right click the calendar
  3. in the context menu choose "View Settings..."
  4. choose "Conditional Formatting..."
  5. now add a bright color with the advanced condition to match when start and end date equals today
  6. enjoy and never attend meetings again today which are really scheduled for tomorrow :)

Note that recurring appointments might be colored even if they are not today.

10@user351143 You can get around this by adding another condition - for Field, choose "Recurring" (from the "Frequently used fields" selection), and for "Condition", choose "no". – pgl – 2015-09-18T09:55:16.420

@pgl This will most likely ignore recurring events that occurs today -- as per comments for similar answer here.

1@trejder Thanks for pointing that out. I don't use Outlook Calendar anymore, so I have no way to test this to see if you're right or not! – pgl – 2019-12-05T14:05:47.810
