Or use a different calendar app.

It’s just the general font size overall. I had mine on the largest apparently. I was adding things to my control panel and I noticed the font control, so I added it and when I did I realized my font was on the largest size so when I made it smaller everything got smaller and now there is much more room on my calendar. I wish you could change the font size on individual apps though because now if I want more room on my calendar everything else has to be smaller too. Its the oblong white block with Aa on it named text size.

It unnecessarly uses space we need for good reading/access and less populated. The events displayed on the calendar itself remain narrower and barely can be read. Pls eliminate that!!!

Per my initial post, I’ve already done that. My experience in submitting feedback to Apple Support over the past 30+ years is that they really don’t care. They don’t really pay attention to feedback submitted by customers.

There are numerous examples that show they do. For example, last year when they change the way you select watch faces, there was a concerted feedback campaign. Apple changed it within a couple of months (maybe less).

These Discussions seem to yield greater results. There is strength in numbers voicing issues indirectly back to Apple, as well as Users coming up with workarounds to issues that Apple won’t address.

Apple doesn't read here so complaining here, while perhaps cathartic, is unlikely to effect any real change.

The reality is that Apple does whatever it wants to, and if it decides to change this functionality, they will on their terms and timing. It is what it is.

That is the way Apple has always been.

It's horrible idea. Waste of space, always needed, and it serves nothing.It occupies room in the calendar and on the lista of daily events on the left. Pls take that thing off. I'll probably look for another calendar. Who had this idea?? There are other things to be fixed bfr playin with an unusefull icon and "all day" or the tinme of the event.

Count me as one more longtime fan of Macs who'd really love the option to turn off the icons added by Sequoia to the beginnings of all-day events. It's a visual distraction and a waste, at least as far as my workflow is concerned, of screen real estate.

Let people who like the icons use them, and let people who don't like them turn them off!

Welcome to the Apple way of doing things.

THIS!!!!! This is horrible for me!!! I use my calendar for all kinds of things and not having a visible second field to show in the month view is horrible!!! Why would they take a feature like that away?! I pray they fix this in future updates because needing to click every event to see the location field notes is driving me crazy!!!

Meanwhile, there are hundreds, probably even thousands of other calendar apps available.

Yes, what "genius" did this? Bonus points for design over practicality...daahh

That's a matter of opinion. Yours is different than Apple's.

why not make it possible to turn it on of off in calendar preferences?

Because Apple generally doesn't do that. You can let Apple know your thoughts on the matter here:

But I don’t like that it’s inconsistent and there’s no rhyme or reason to it. Some are pill shaped events while others are rounded rectangle… and it’s not a difference between annual occurring or weekly or non-repeated events.
