Accessing Your Calendar and Customizing Its Colors

Getting into the Calendar and changing the view is as easy following these simple steps:

1. Turn on your phone and unlock it.
2. Press the Calendar live tile. It is one of the few double-column tiles on the Start screen, and it shows the date and your next appointment (see Figure 12–1).

   A screen similar to that shown in Figure 12–2 will appear, showing your appointments for today.

3. By default, the Calendar displays appointments in a grid format, showing empty spaces throughout the day. If you want to see all of your appointments listed without any space between them (perhaps you have an extremely busy schedule or appointments that overlap, with no space anyway!), tap Agenda to switch to Agenda view (see Figure 12–3).
