Boring Meeting > 11:00...... Boring Meeting > 12:00...... Boring Meeting > 13:00-14:00 Lunch with mistress How to visualize overlapping things? Not that easy without those boxes the usual calendar app has. What are you thinking here? My first quick idea (hack) for this problem: 8:00...... -------------------- 9:00-13:00 # Boring Meeting 10:00...... # 11:00...... # 12:00-13:30 ## Telephone call customer 13:00-14:00 ## Lunch with mistress Those «#» characters visualize the number of parallel items. Besides implementation difficulties: how would you like to see this situation in your agenda view? Do you have a better idea? Or is there a chance of having some ASCII-art boxes for time-spanning entries? -- Karl Voit
