How do you remove the monthly alternating color scheme in Outlook 2007 Calandar Month view?
In Outlook 2007 when you go into Calandar / month view it shows the current month with light squares and then the next month with the same colors but all darker. This then alternates back to light for the month after etc. I'm sure this is a 'feature' and they probably thought it would be useful to see at a glance where the month ends and the next one starts.
However I hate this 'feature' as it changes all my categorized appointment colors from light shades to dark shades in the next month. When I scroll through the coming months it is confusing as my category colors change from light to dark each month. It's worse when actually choosing light and dark category colors as this then starts to become very confusing as the shades change across each month.
I've looked everywhere in the options and on google but there doesn't appear to be an option to turn this alternativing month color scheme off? If there is not a menu option is there a registry setting?
A somewhat minor but very annoying 'feature' that I would love to turn OFF.

Might be a bit of hassle uploading a picture....
If you go into month view as you scroll through the months each alternative month is a different shade (light then dark then light etc).
If you then add appointments with coloured categories you will find that the same appointment/category in one month is a light shade and if placed in the next month it is dark. When you scroll between the two months the same category colour gets confusing because it is shown in two different shades.
Does that make sense?.... I think Redrumkev has pretty much stated that it is part of the design and can't be turned off unless a customer schema is applied.

Dissappointing that there isn't an easy way to turn it off...
