Calendar paints its output in named regions. Each region is a CalendarStyles value you can recolor per control instance.

ℹ️ Styling is per control — there is no global “style all calendars” API. The only style-related global setting is PromptPlus.Config.ContrastRatio.

Recoloring a region

Use the fluent Styles method. A Style is a foreground color, a background color, and an Overflow strategy — there is no bold/italic/underline. A bare Color is accepted as shorthand for a foreground-only style.

using ConsolePlusLibrary;
using PromptPlusLibrary;

PromptPlus.Controls
    .Calendar("Date")
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.Lines,             Color.Blue)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.Selected,          Color.Green)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.CalendarDay,       Color.Yellow)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.CalendarHighlight, Color.Blue)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.CalendarMonth,     Color.Green)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.CalendarWeekDay,   Color.Aqua)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.CalendarYear,      Color.Violet)
    .Styles(CalendarStyles.Selected,          new Style(Color.Green, Color.Default))
    .Run();

To reuse a theme across calendars, wrap the styling in a helper you call for each control — the library does not broadcast styles for you. See Global Styles for the pattern.

Contrast enforcement

PromptPlus nudges foreground colors that fall below the configured contrast ratio so text stays readable on any terminal theme. Tune or disable with PromptPlus.Config.ContrastRatio.
