Angular-bootstrap calendar mwl -> other symbol for event instead of points

Question

I use this calendar to visualize my calendar events: mwl calendar . Now I want to change the event "point" sign to an "arrow" sign. How to achieve this?

<div class="events-list" ng-show="day.events.length > 0">
    <a ng-repeat="event in day.events | orderBy:'startsAt' track by event.$id"
        href="javascript:;"
        ng-click="$event.stopPropagation(); vm.onEventClick({calendarEvent: event})"
        class="pull-left event"
        ng-class="event.cssClass"
        ng-style="{backgroundColor: event.color.primary}"
        ng-mouseenter="vm.highlightEvent(event, true)"
        ng-mouseleave="vm.highlightEvent(event, false)"
        tooltip-append-to-body="true"
        uib-tooltip-html="vm.calendarEventTitle.monthViewTooltip(event) | calendarTrustAsHtml"
        mwl-draggable="event.draggable === true"
        drop-data="{event: event, draggedFromDate: day.date.toDate()}">
    </a>
</div>

I marked the "event pointer" yellow. This is the symbol I want to change.

I also don't know exactly what you try to achieve because your question text is a bit confusing. So, for now I replace the "event point" with an arrow by adding some css styles and a custom event color. Please checkout this working plnkr demo and suggest.

.event.arrow {

  background-position: left center;;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 25px 25px;
}

mwl-calendar .event {
  width:25px;
  height:15px;
  border:none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

I also added a custom event color named transparency . In that way I was able to remove these not wanted background (I promise).

//add custom color      transparency
calendarConfig.colorTypes.transparency = {
  primary: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)",
  secondary: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)"
}

vm.events = [
  {
    title: 'An event',
    color: calendarConfig.colorTypes.transparency,
    startsAt: moment().startOf('week').subtract(2, 'days').add(8, 'hours').toDate(),
    endsAt: moment().startOf('week').add(1, 'week').add(9, 'hours').toDate(),
    draggable: true,
    resizable: true,
    actions: actions,
    cssClass: 'arrow'
  }, {
    title: '<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-asterisk"></i> <span class="text-primary">Another event</span>, with a <i>html</i> title',
    color: calendarConfig.colorTypes.transparency,
    startsAt: moment().subtract(1, 'day').toDate(),
    endsAt: moment().add(5, 'days').toDate(),
    draggable: true,
    resizable: true,
    actions: actions,
    cssClass: 'arrow'
  }, {
    title: 'This is a really long event title that occurs on every year',
    color: calendarConfig.colorTypes.warning ,
    startsAt: moment().startOf('day').add(7, 'hours').toDate(),
    endsAt: moment().startOf('day').add(19, 'hours').toDate(),
    recursOn: 'year',
    draggable: true,
    resizable: true,
    actions: actions
  }
];
