Highlight the 'today' in scheduler in header

[Dan]

Some users do not see very clearly which is the today in the scheduler and asked if the header could be colored. 

I have found that the cells has the class "k-today" but the header does not have it.

Is there a way to know which of the header cells is the cell for the today?

In versions before 2023 R1 SP1, the Today header has class "k-nav-today". Not sure in the latest SP. Look at the element in the browser debug mode to be sure.

Hi, Dan.

For each view type, there is a unique class and also, there is a `k-today` class on each cell that is today. Combining the the you get:

  .k-scheduler-weekview .k-scheduler-table th.k-today,
  .k-scheduler-weekview .k-scheduler-table td.k-today,
  .k-scheduler-workWeekview .k-scheduler-table th.k-today,
  .k-scheduler-workWeekview .k-scheduler-table td.k-today,
  .k-scheduler-monthview .k-scheduler-table td.k-today {
    background: gold;
  }

Or everything together in a demo: https://dojo.telerik.com/@joneff/EnAMekEZ

Hi Ivan,

Perhaps I was not clear enough. I thought that all the views are the same.

So it seems that you are wrong. In the Timeline Month from the demos https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/scheduler/timeline you will see that the Today header has no k-today class in order to customize it.

Anyway after looking at the API I have found the dateHeaderTemplate and I think I could use that, but it would have been better to have the k-today like you suggested.

I did not test with timeline. Looking at the code, it does appear like a bug or regression -- since we are denoting the cells (as today) in all views, the headers should be denoted as well in all views.

Hi Ivan,

Can you provide the bug so I can follow it so I know when that ticket is going to be fixed.

Thanks
