What is the proposed idea/solution?
I use the Timeline view to plan staff resourcing, and I need to see when weekends are so that we can plan around them. The single letters representing days are very small, and visually it takes very intentional cross-checking between the entries and the records and the days on the timeline at the top, which makes the process a lot more fiddly.
Currently, the only way to do this visually in the way I'd need it is to create a record for a weekend and colour it based on the day of the week and tag it in every swim lane, however, creating an empty record purely for a weekend could potentially cause data issues. It'd be easier if we had the options to colour dates on the UI.
How does is solve the user problems?
People could track regular deadlines, weekends, public holidays etc on timelines without the need to create a record (potentially causing data issues) to do so.
