The new printing feature in 5.17.0 is very nice. Here are a few requests:

1. I can't find a selection to center the text in the boxes. It would be nice to have the text displayed as on the screen in the 'View students/teachers timetable'.

2. Schedules are much easier to read if they are colour-coded. How about a range of selectable colours per teacher or per subject, and having these colours then inserted in the print file? See my attachment.

only per subject isn't a good idea, because there are some teachers only teaching a single subject, so everything get the same color. so the color is not usefull.
only per group is also not a perfect solution, because some teachers can swap subjects in their groups like they want. so the color will not be usefull.

so there is a mixed mode only usefull. sadly each teacher have different needs. so i am not sure how to implement this best.

if you want to do that, you can already do it with the html files. just style them by css.
