Future daily values

You’re hilarious.  :D
We designed CalendarBudget to have days in the previous and next month slightly grayed to help highlight the current month, taking that the visual cue from Google Calendar and other calendaring programs. 
I agree that the “today” indicator needs some work.  Even to me, its annoyingly not noticeable.  That should be a simple fix – I’ll get that in next weeks drop – along with Account Transfers.
An alternative to graying out the entries themselves to to gray out the background of the day.  This will make the distinction between current month and not even more apparent, and should make the day contents more visible. I’d prefer not to change things onmouseover, since it makes at a glance viewing difficult.  Also, the mouseover calculation can get very expensive on your browser processing.

That looks pretty good.  I can live with that.  You could still gray the daily value a little if you wanted to, to show continuity with the background graying, just not so gray as it was before.  Is that your planned TODAY color as well?

Yes, the idea was to change the TODAY indicator to a more distinct and obvious indicator.  It was barely noticeable before.  Now its very obvious, as are the previous and next months.

I’m thinking to leave the entry text itself (in previous and next months) as normal black(red) so they are readable.  If we gray the background *and* the entry, it will be harder to read.  The cell background gray should be indicator enough that something is different about those days.
