Set Slot Background Color by Using Slot Templates

You can set the cell background color based on the slot date in the Scheduler.
The following example demonstrates how to achieve this behavior by using the slotTemplate and allDaySlotTemplate configuration options.
Example

    <div id="scheduler"></div>
    <style>
      /* Remove the padding of scheduler slots */
      .k-scheduler-table td, .k-scheduler-table th
      {
        padding: 0;
      }
    </style>
    <script>
      function getColorBasedOnHour(date) {
        var difference = date.getTime() - kendo.date.getDate(date);
        var hours = difference / kendo.date.MS_PER_HOUR;

        if (hours >= 8 && hours < 12) {
          return "#CC66FF";
        } else if (hours >= 13 && hours < 17) {
          return "#CC0099";
        } else {
          return "#33CCFF";
        }
      }

      $(function() {
        $("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
          date: new Date("2013/6/13"),
          startTime: new Date("2013/6/13 07:00 AM"),
          height: 600,
          allDaySlotTemplate: "<div style='background:\\#A2A2AA; height: 100%;width: 100%;'></div>",
          slotTemplate: "<div style='background:#=getColorBasedOnHour(date)#; height: 100%;width: 100%;'></div>",
