        Hi,
there are not any immediate plans to do it, as far as I know. I have,
personally, more than 20 calendars, each different color, most of them
usually disabled. The color-by-category might make the view confusing
for me (that's why there would be an option to disable coloring by
category, if there is only one color set on the event). It reminded me
of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308815#c46

Aha, I think it's due to this. The first option name is misleading. Its
correct wording, according to what the code does, is:
 [X] Set default reminder [18] [hours] before every new appointment
That's also slightly misleading, but not that much as the initial text.
I do not know how to write into a short single sentence "Use this
reminder as a default reminder for newly created appointments, [18]
[hours] before".

It means that you are notified only about appointments which have set
an explicit reminder. If the appointment doesn't have the reminder,
then you are not notified about it.
        Bye,
