Make KashCal yours: a theme picker and a supporter icon

ยท 2 min read

This release is about making KashCal yours. Two new choices, both in Settings, one for how the app looks and one for how it shows up on your home screen.

Pick your colorsโ€‹

KashCal now has a proper theme picker. Stay on System, pin Light or Dark, or switch on KashCal Teal, our own palette that follows your phone's light and dark setting while keeping the brand green front and center. It runs through the whole app, contrast-checked so text stays readable on every surface, light or dark. You'll find it under Settings, then Appearance.

Wear your supportโ€‹

The second choice is the icon on your home screen. If you've chipped in to keep KashCal free and ad-free (or you'd like to), you can now wear it: a gold Supporter icon with a little heart on the calendar card. Pick it under Settings, then App Icon, in whichever flavor you like. Keep the KashCal name, or go incognito with the same icon labeled simply "Calendar."

Whether you're already a supporter or about to become one, here's a thank you from us.

Everything in this releaseโ€‹

  • New theme picker in Settings: System, Light, Dark, or KashCal Teal
  • KashCal Teal palette follows your phone's light and dark setting and is applied app-wide, with contrast checked for readability
  • New supporter app icon: a gold card with a heart, chosen under Settings, then App Icon
  • Two supporter variants, sharing one icon: one keeps the "KashCal" name, one shows a discreet "Calendar" name on the home screen

KashCal, the calendar you already love, now in your colors and wearing your badge.

Supporting open source has always felt good. Now it looks good too, right there on your home screen. Not a supporter yet? Join in. It's quicker than your coffee order.
