Filled Timecells with the appointment status texture and color. Use the SchedulerViewBase.StatusDisplayType option. If multiple appointments with different statuses occupy the same interval, the highest priority status is displayed. The priority is defined as follows (the lower number is higher priority): AppointmentStatusType.OutOfOffice AppointmentStatusType.Busy AppointmentStatusType.Tentative AppointmentStatusType.WorkingElsewhere

Appointment Status Line orientation is vertical by default and does not indicate an appointment duration. Use the following options: WeekViewAppointmentDisplayOptionsEx.ShowAppointmentStatusVertically MonthViewAppointmentDisplayOptionsEx.ShowAppointmentStatusVertically TimelineViewAppointmentDisplayOptionsEx.ShowAppointmentStatusVertically
All-day (Appointment.AllDay) appointments indicate their status as a vertical bar regardless of the DayViewAppointmentDisplayOptions.AllDayAppointmentsStatusDisplayType option value. To revert to the previous behavior, set the DayViewAppointmentDisplayOptionsEx.ShowAllDayAppointmentStatusVertically option to false.

Office 2016 skins: Day Header appearance.
Office 2016 skins: Resource Header appearance.

Inplace Editor has the Outlook 2016 style (a multiline editor) by default. Use the SchedulerOptionsView.UseInplaceEditor2016 option to switch back to the previous style (a single line editor).

Appointment Status color matches the appointment label color, except the Out-Of-Office status, which is always displayed using its own color.
Appointment without a label has the color of the status to which it belongs.
Appointment Out-Of-Office color. Use the SchedulerCompatibility.StatusOutOfOfficeColor option to set the color as your needs dictate.
