   <title>The _default_ color defined in prefs.php (or in prefs backen</title> 
   <description>The _default_ color defined in prefs.php (or in prefs backend) is never used. The color used is always #FFFFFF for new categories or category without a color defined.



// category colors

$_prefs[&#039;category_colors&#039;] = array(

    &#039;value&#039; =&gt; &#039;_default_:#939eff|_unfiled_:#ccdeff&#039;,

    &#039;locked&#039; =&gt; false,

    &#039;shared&#039; =&gt; true,

    &#039;type&#039; =&gt; &#039;implicit&#039;

);



(_unfiled_ works fine).

My understanding is, this is the color used when a new category is created, or when an unknown category is present in the calendar (thus creating an implicit, new category).



There are references to it in lib/Horde/Prefs/CategoryManager.php, but (and this is the bug here), the preference is never used.</description>

   <description>Ah, right. Unfiled should be used where categories are missing, Default where we don&#039;t have a color set for that category.</description>
