I am absolutely with you!!
We also dont want to have 10 or more calendard just because of to have  
colors again, thats not a good idea. Also I already ask how it is with  
synching. Today I did my first successful sync, now, what would I have  
to do if I create 10 colored calendars and want them to sync with my  
Blackberry?

That I wish at 'least'.

To be practical, and also hoping that the non-dynamic view will not  
just vanish in the future, I would like to have a search for tags also  
in the normal view search, please.

You already have seen that I am also adaptable and try to figure out  
how we can use Horde practically in the future. But I also support the  
wish for 'kind of' categories, even if you Tag items, I need a proper  
search for it and colors are extremely helpful, indeed.
I am still aware of the performance hit.

Please think about it. We had so much practicality in H3 regarding  
this topic, and I dont want to lose this practicability. Definitely not.

I would also take any workaround to get that back.
