Hello all,
I have been a happy org-mode user for a while, using more and more
of org-mode for more and more things. By now I have completely
replaced my use of iCal (on the Mac) by the org-mode agenda, with no
regrets. However, there is one feature that I am still trying to get
into my agenda view, but I didn't find a way to do it yet.
There are a couple of long-lasting "events" that I would like to
show in my agenda view. A typical example would be school vacation
periods, but there are others: absences of a colleague, availability
of some instrument, etc, Their common feature is that they can last
very long (several weeks) and that they don't really occupy my
agenda. I just want to know when planning something if a given day
is in period X or not. So I'd like to see at a glance (using a
specific font, color, one-letter prefix etc.) if a day falls into a
certain predefined period. Simply adding a corresponding event to my
agenda leads to visual clutter: it gets marked on every single day
of the period.
Is there any way to get what I am looking for?
I don't think so. But what I am also missing is a clear idea on *how*
this event should be generated and *how* it should be displayed.
Apparently you do not want the event listed in the agenda, but you say
"maybe a special font". If the event is not listed, what else should
be in a general font?
Maybe try to work out a more detailed proposal?
Cheers
- Carsten
