I access a calendar that shows scheduled computer classes with
horizontal bars across a calendar showing consecutive days, even
weeks of a give class.

The bars hyperlink to a SharePoint page that shows the course
description and beginning and ending times and dates.

Trouble is, just looking at the calendar there is no way to easily
spot when a new course starts.

I.E. with a bar from Monday through Friday you can't tell if that is
a week in the middle of the multi week course, the first week, or the
last week of the course.

Isn't there a way to color code the start DAY or something like that?
