**Understanding Customization Options:**

Here, you have the freedom to tailor your calendar widget to suit your preferences. Explore the following customization options:

-   **Primary Colour:** This will impact buttons, dates, time slots, and various actions within the widget such as Staff Selection, Add Guests etc.

-   **Background Colour:** The background color sets the tone for both the date-time selector and the form. If you've got a **custom form**, its background will mirror the chosen background color, but the  form's fields are determined by your specific custom form settings.

## **Services Booking Flow UI Enhancements**

Small booking-flow improvements can make scheduling feel clearer and more intuitive for customers. These updates improve navigation, visual quality, and booking clarity without changing how the core scheduling flow works.

Recent Services booking improvements include:

-   a Back button for easier navigation through the booking flow
-   higher-resolution service images for a clearer visual experience
-   an auto-hidden header when no company name or logo is configured, which is especially useful for embedded booking experiences
-   a more clearly displayed timezone label on the slot-selection screen so customers know which timezone they are booking in

These changes help create a smoother and more polished booking experience for both standalone and embedded scheduling flows.
