A user to user tip - Want to see several of your calendars overlaid in 
Chandler Hub (aka Cosmo) at osaf.us?

If you can live with all of the lozenges being the same color, try this:

1. In Chandler Desktop, add the calendars (that is, the collections with 
event items) you want to see overlaid in the calendar view on Chandler 
Hub to your Chandler Dashboard. To do this, in Chandler Desktop, 
right-click on the collection names in the left sidebar and choose "Keep 
out of Dashboard" or "Add to Dashboard".

2. Test drive the view of the overlaid calendars in the Chandler Desktop 
by choosing the Dashboard collection and the Calendar view button on the 
tool-bar. If you see a list of event items instead of the weekly 
calendar view, use the menu to select View-Calendar View-Weekly View.

3. Publish the Dashboard collection from Chandler Desktop to Chandler 
Hub at https://osaf.us/  (If you have not done so already, you will need 
to create an account on Chandler Hub and configure the Accounts area in 
Chandler Desktop.)

4. Log in to Chandler Hub, and choose your Dashboard collection from the 
upper-left selection field.

5. Until Chandler Hub and/or Chandler Desktop grow a month view, for 
extra credit, use the Mozilla Sunbird desktop calendar application to 
see your Dashboard's calendar items in a month view by subscribing from 
Sunbird to your Dashboard on Chandler Hub.

Enjoy, Andre

PS Since all of these components range from alphaware to betaware at 
best, your mileage may vary.
