Does Xandikos syncs the calendar colours?

Does Xandikos sync's the calendar colours? If yes, please tell me. I tried to set color on calendar from Xandikos server on Thunderbird both running on my MacOS. I use DAVx to sync it to my Android and use Simple Calendar. But the colors set on Thunderbird for each calendars are not reflected on Android!

Xandikos supports storing the "calendar-color" property that Apple has defined as an extension to CalDAV, but which is not part of the official CalDAV standard. Some other clients (DAVx, Apple and Inf-It) have added support for this extension as well and can write and read it.

Not all clients support this extension, and that includes Thunderbird IIRC.

You said:

Xandikos stores custom properties in a .xandikos file in the calendar directory.

But I don't find the color of calendar stored in this file. Where is it stored on the server for each calendar?

[jelmer]

If a client sets the color property (again, Thunderbird does not), Xandikos will store it in .xandikos in the calendar directory on the server. This is an ini-style file, the line will look something like color = #aabbcc

If the line is not present, then no client has set the color.

I am syncing the colour set by DAVx from Android.

Does Xandikos support colour from DAVx?

[jelmer]

Yes, see mention above - DAVx uses the Apple property.

Actually, I'm not sure if DAVx can actually set the color - I don't see an option for it. It may just be able to read it.
