  they cannot see today's date at a glance because there is not enough
  contrast between today's date that is highlighted and the rest of the
  calendar.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#menu-calendar>: "If a date item
  is the currently highlighted menu item, it should have the normal text
  and background highlight colors for a menu item. If a date has at
  least one event, its text should be bold. And today’s date should have
  a thin border around it in the unhighlighted text color."
