In addition to the built-in themes for the scheduler navigator, every single area do the Scheduler can be customized, including but not limited to appointments, status indicators (busy, tentative, etc), background (indicating the category it belongs to), text format and positioning, date/time indicators, headers, working time, etc. This is done by using the [Visual Style Builder productivity tool](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/tools/visual-style-builder/overview).
