Different background color for a column

Hi, @nicolettemanas

All the grids you see are drawn by lines. If you want to change the background color of a column, you should add DecorationView in FlowLayout. I found few lines of code from WRCalendarView, which is exactly what you want for a whole column background.

// In WeekView class
flowLayout.register(WRTodayBackground.self,
                            forDecorationViewOfKind: DecorationViewKinds.todayBackground)

// In FlowLayout class
func layoutTodayBackgroundAttributes(section: Int, sectionX: CGFloat, calendarStartY: CGFloat, sectionHeight: CGFloat) {
        let currentComponents = daysForSection(section)
        
        if (currentTimeComponents.year == currentComponents.year &&
            currentTimeComponents.month == currentComponents.month &&
            currentTimeComponents.day == currentComponents.day) {
            var attributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes
            (attributes, todayBackgroundAttributes) =
                layoutAttributesForDecorationView(at: IndexPath(item: 0, section: 0),
                                                  ofKind: DecorationViewKinds.todayBackground,
                                                  withItemCache: todayBackgroundAttributes)
            attributes.frame = CGRect(x: sectionX, y: 0, width: sectionWidth, height: sectionHeight + calendarStartY)
            attributes.zIndex = zIndexForElementKind(DecorationViewKinds.todayBackground)
        }
    }

If you are not using pods, you can simply refer to his WRCalendarView and add some codes into my library.

But if you are using pods, for me, I am thinking how to add this feature into the project and easy for you guys to use for all situations. For example, I want any gird, any column or any row background view can be customised. It is not simple to achieve this and I don't have enough time these days. If you do have any suggestions or questions, you can let me know.

Hope I can help you, thanks.
