Hi,

Please always state what version you are using.

In KDE 3.5 one can assign different colors to different calendars.

In KDE 3.5, after creating a new event, one was asked to which calendar 
the event should be added.

KOrganizer is not yet using Akonadi (in KDE 4.2). In a beta version of 
KDE 4.2 the calendar resources were automatically converted to Akonadi 
bridge resources, but this was reverted in the final version of KDE 4.2 
because there were some problems that could not be fixed for the 
release.

Did you use a beta of KDE 4.2? If yes, then this might explain your 
observations.

If one's local calendars were converted to Akonadi bridge resources then 
one can revert this by removing the calendars from KOrganizer and then 
re-adding them as normal "Calendar in local file".

Kevin might give you more details. I suggest to search the archive of 
this list and of kde-pim for related messages written by Kevin Krammer 
if you want to know more. Alternatively, check out his blog 
(http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/83).

Ingo
