Change event color set & density in Google Calendar

In Google Calendar, you can customize the appearance of your events. You can change the color of the event text and adjust the spacing between events.

Important:

  • These settings are only available when you use Google Calendar on your computer.
  • To change the color set, set your background to “Light.” Learn how to change the background.
  1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
  2. At the top right, click Settings and then Appearance.
  3. Select a color set:
    • Modern (with white text)
    • Classic (with black text)
  4. Select a density setting:
    • Responsive: Your calendar dynamically scales and enlarges events to fill larger monitors, which makes events easier to read.
    • Comfortable: Your calendar keeps the standard layout with traditional spacing, regardless of your screen size.
    • Compact: Your calendar shows a denser view with tighter spacing, which allows you to see more events at once.
