Grey out items in the past in Outlook calendar

Because Outlooks emphasis on today is so minimal, I would like to grey out items in the past.
I found a similar solution here: "Highlighting the Current Day in Outlook 2013 Calendar",
but I don't see the (advanced) conditions in Outlook to simply grey out all items with an end date before today.
How can I grey out items/days in the past?

Have you tried setting a darker skin? In the File menu, there's a section in office 2013 where you can make things darker. It also changes the colors of the calendar.

Just like in the solution you've mentioned, use Contidional Formatting for your Calendar. But this time on the Filter's "Advanced" tab, select Field -> All Appointment fields -> End. Specify on or before Condition and today (without quotes) as a Value. Don't forget to add this criteria with "Add to List" button.

Unfortunately recurring meetings will get caught up in this rule, even those in the future. Adding a rule forRecurrance Range Endmeans that past recurring appointments won't get caught in this rule until the entire range has ended.

You can exclude recurring meetings by adding the "Recurrence" "equals" "(none)" additional criteria.

That just means that recurring appointments will never ever be grayed out, even after the final occurrence has finished. The OP wants all past items to be greyed out.

This isn't an effective solution. It will grey out items that take place today, so not just in the past. Also the recurring items are problematic.

You can use the "today-1" value if needed. As for recurring items... I will take a look at them.
