Issue 2188: Setting the event color in eventRender has no effect until refreshed
Status:  Invalid

The bug is discussed here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7918301/fullcalendar-doesnt-render-color-when-using-eventrender

In short, I'm setting event color attributes in the eventRender callback, like so:
  event.color = color_registry[event.title];
  event.backgroundColor = color_registry[event.title];

The event colors all render the same way, but if I switch to a week view, and then back to the month view, colors are properly rendered.  Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks.

Why is this invalid?  Can you provide a short comment or suggestion?  Surely there is a best practice for changing an event's color.

Thanks.

(needs a reduction and recreation)

this is more of a user error not a bug.

eventRender is not meant for this.
eventDataTransform is more up your alley.

I see, thanks.  I figured the event color would be more related to its rendering than to transformation of its data.  
Cheers.
