Can I bitch and moan about the color scheme of the 2007 calendar?
Sure, but it won’t do you any good. If you look at the code you’ll see that future links point to the current page, therefore they’ve been “visited” and are intentionally shown in a muted scheme; there’s no point in cluttering the image with bright links to non-existent content. As links to actual content are added they show up as white and yellow. There should be no problem finding the day’s box if you’ve been keeping up with the calendar. Regardless, it’ll never be perfect without resorting to translucency which isn’t yet a standard. As an alternative, one can always hover and read the status bar, use the RSS feed, or simply type in the URI (http://domain/year/day/) though.
