Mac calender... why are events sometimes colored text-only, but sometimes "highlighted" text?

On my Mac OS X, iCal seems to be entering some of the events I'm now adding as colored *text*, though I think all my previous event entries have been *highlighted* the (correct) color with white text?

I haven't used the calendar much, and not for awhile...is it possible that some upgrade or other has changed the text appearance, or allowed both options?

Or is there something else I don't know that would control whether events or "calendars" are colored by text-only or framed-highlighted with the color?

Thanks!

Update:

Thanks!! That seems to be it. Can't understand though why none of the Help or tutorials or tips I found mentioned that...sigh.

Now how do I select Best Answer...wonder if it's just not an option for so-many-minutes, or something I didn't see at first.

Update 2:

(Found out an answer has to be 4 hrs old according to one answerer, then I'll have to proactively select it in Profile and give BA. Will do.)

    The highlighted events are the ones that you've marked as "all-day events." The colored-text only events are events that you've said have start and end times -- even if you left the start and end times blank.
