In an earlier example, “Changing the current date’s background color in the Flex DateField control”, we saw how you can customize the background color of the current date, assuming that the showToday property is true. In the following example, we see how you can change the font color, style, and weight of the current date by setting the todayStyleName style in the Flex DateField control’s nested DateChooser control.

Hello Peter.
DateField { todayColor: haloOrange; dateChooserStyleName: myCustomDateChooser; } .myCustomDateChooser { todayStyleName: myCustomTodayStyleName; } .myCustomTodayStyleName { color: black; fontStyle: italic; fontWeight: bold; }Can you leave a demo here? Can I change whatever the color I want?

Yes.

Hi Peter,
How about when the calendar is showing any month other than this month;
then when the showToday is checked the month will redraw the current month, with today highlighted, of course.
Thanks in advance.
