When the min or max date is set and a dark skin is used (Material Dark) then it is not possible to tell which days in the popup are valid and which are not. Days that are valid but in a different month are different, and weekends do show a difference.

The issue appears to be that it is blending the colour with the brush colour but in most cases it hasn’t set this so it is white. In a dark skin with light text this doesn’t work, it even reverses the effect for days not in the current month.

Hello, Alan! I think, I see what you mean.
I’ll try to improve it in the nearest release.

I have updated to 16.10 and this changes things but doesn’t fix the issue.

It never goes through the code to dim dates.
In TsCalendGrid.DrawCell after checking FOwner.DimUnacceptedCells it sets CanAccept but this is always set true so it never goes into the code to dim the cell.
If I instead set CanAccept to FOwner.IsValidDate(aDate) then I can see the effect.

The effect isn’t ideal.
The out of month and weekend highlights aren’t applied so you just get a uniform block.
At the min date month it looks odd to have the titles normal, then a dimmed block, and then the selectable dates.
At the max date month the block is at the end so doesn’t have that problem so much.

I am also seeing an odd effect on clicking next/prev year.
I have it set so that min date is mid last month and max date is early this month.
If I click prev month it goes to last month.
If I then click next year nothing happens.
If I then click next month nothing happens.
If I then click next year it goes to this month.
It appears as if clicking next year is not navigating properly and is blocking next month until next year is clicked a second time.

Hello! Some improvements were added in the v16.11, you can try it already.

The blocking when clicking next year is fixed.
I get an odd selected day issue.
Min Date: 17/05/2021
Max Date: 08/06/2021
Default Date: 07/06/2021

Open the popup 7 is highlighted.
Click Prev month – nothing is selected.
Click Next month – 7 is still selected.
Click Next month – 8 is now selected (max date)
Click Prev month – nothing is shown selected.
Click Prev month – no change.
Click Next Month – 21 is shown selected.
This is outside the valid range – 21 is the same cell as min date was when showing May.
Click Next month – 8 is now selected (max date)
I don’t the selected date highlight should be moving it should remain on 7/6 until a date is selected.

The attached image shows the lack of differentiation in invalid dates.

Please, explain what you mean? Which invalid date values should have different looking?

[Alan Montgomery]

The dates in the green box – these are from the previous month so should be dimmed more.
The dates in the blue box – these are weekend but have completely lost the weekend styling.

Also the valid dates from next month are very similar to the invalid dates from this month.
The only difference is the background and doesn’t get noticed when it is some distance apart.
If the max date is changed to 3rd June then it is clearer as the two are adjacent.

Understand, I’ll try to improve it soon.
