The C1Calendar control adopts the Office2007Black visual style.

Changing the Visual Style in Source View

To change the visual scheme of your C1Calendar to Office2007Black in Source view, add VisualStyle="Office2007Black" to the <cc1:C1Calendar> tag so that the tag resembles the following:

 

<cc1:C1Calendar ID="C1Calendar1" runat="server" VisualStyle="Office2007Black" VisualStylePath="~/C1WebControls/VisualStyles">   

</cc1:C1Calendar>
