Theme Custom Functions

Helios Calendar provides a number of functions that can be used within themes to customize public calendar functionality. These functions can be used uniquely within each theme you create and each theme can utilize them to customize the public calendar in different ways.

Note: Only a supported value will be accepted. If any other value is used it will be ignored and the default setting will be applied.
