Need for darker lines and dates on printed calendars
I export my shipping dates to a sheet that presents the data as a calendar that is printed and posted for our shipping packers and loaders. This is a great tool for allowing those on the team who are not on the computer to plan their workflow.
The default color for the calendar grid as well as month and date labels is light grey. I have found nowhere that this can be changed. Changing printer setting is not helpful as the rest of the calendar is dark and vibrant.
Does anyone else have this issue or have you found a setting to change?

Hi Andrew,
There currently isn't a setting in Smartsheet that makes the lines darker. You may need to consider importing this into a PDF or photo editing tool (acrobat reader pro, ms paint, etc.) to make the lines darker.

This has to do with how a milestone is represented (ie. a 0 day duration). If you hard type milestone without a predecessor or successor, it will show up as the beginning of that day instead of the end of the day. If you have a milestone that is following a standard finish to start logic, it will show up at the end of the previous activity. <\/p>
So, Task B4 in the backwards version is actually saying that the completion happened in the 00:00 hr of that day. if you put any activity in that has a duration and uses the start to finish relationship, that activity will naturally finish at the end of the previous day. So, to get your example above to work, the finishing task would need to be 1 day long so it takes up the full work day. I found it easier to visualize if you zoom all the way in on the gantt chart so you can see the diamond symbol of the milestone at the beginning and end of the days when used in different set ups.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":108291,"type":"question","name":"Conditional formatting in Gantt not working with dependencies","excerpt":"For some reason it seems like my conditional formatting rules aren't being applied to certain rows in the Gantt chart side of this sheet.
