Thunderbird 102.5.1 (64-bit) Windows 11

Since a few years back my Lightning calendar lost all the color backgrounds for categories, which was a plugin that does not work anymore. The small sliver of a color bar on the right side of the event on the calendar page is not helpful to see in a glance what category is coming up in a few days. I have several job categories such as Photography, Video Recording and Audio Job. If I can color code AND SEE them at a glance when I am in the month view is a great help. I am not sure what purpose it serves to have a thin slice of color on the right side of the event! If the whole background of the event line has that color it will serve some purpose. I researched and tried all the css hacks and config edits but nothing seems to work. Is there any help that we can get? I see that others are also looking for a solution that works in the latest version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thunderbird Calendar Category background colors should show in full length of text. My installation of Calendar is not Lightning add-on. It was automatically installed with the Thunderbird 64 bit installation.

Me too. I would like to colour code various classes of events in the calendar. All I appear to be able to do is change the background colour of EVERY event.
