Current day Highlight
There should be visual indicator of current day. I often put dates into wrong week because current and future looks the same

A clear current day highlight is essential in any calendar interface because it provides an immediate visual anchor, helping users avoid mistakes like placing events in the wrong week when current and future dates appear too similar; by visually distinguishing today—through color, shading, or a bold outline—the user can navigate more confidently and reduce scheduling errors, much like how tools such as https://contagemdedias.com.br/ make date tracking more intuitive by clearly presenting days and intervals for quick understanding.

YES PLEASE. Instead of highlighting just the day's number, make the entire top bar highlighted (preferred) or the entire day box like in Outlook (not preferred).

the current 'subtle' highlight of today is virtually invisible! the entire day square should be a different color

It's difficult to quickly spot the calendar's current "Today" date. The "Today" date square should be highlighted more to stand out for easier spotting.

Yes, totally agree. I have to constantly scan to find it. Put a more prominent border around the entire day's square rather than just the number.

YES, maybe you can let us pick a Highlight Color -or- Add an Icon.
Something to make it really stick out! Right now as I look at Today's Date, it is the same color as some of my other calendar entries ... so it is a little lost in a sea right now. Thank you very much!

Yes! 100 voices for this. I keep looking for current day in month view. Please bold it up. Make the indicator popping more out!

Yes, the current day should be highlighted!
At the moment, I'm fixing it by using "User CSS" plugin for Chrome/Brave with the following simple CSS code:
```
.calendar-monthgrid-day[aria-current=date] .calendar-monthgrid-day-number {
background: #657ee4;
color: white;
/* if you like, you can have the round shape on the day number */
/* border-radius: 100% */
}
```It's in line with Proton's theme and a very simple change for an effective result.
We are still waiting for Proton Team though, to make this small change in a "native" way.

There were so many instances where I scheduled something for the wrong week because of this.

I agree. The current bold text is not enough to quickly locate the current date. A filled circle around the date, or a pronounced highlight around the date box, or anything more than what is currently used. Thanks.

Agreed. Even a solid blue dot with the number, something to make it stand out more.

I agree. At least on WEB, the highlight only being the number is way to subtle for it to help me. Granted I use month view almost exclusively.

The current day in week or month view is not very distinguishable. It will be better if:
1. In month view you make a slight change in color of the whole day square.
2. In week view the same for the current day column
