When I added the stock iOS Calender widget to Notification Center it showed the compact view of all of my events for the day. Now it shows the current event with a red line going across the screen that displays the current time relative to the event's time. Is there a way to switch back? I had the compact view until I had to restore my phone yesterday. Now I seem to be stuck with the detailed time view which is useless to me.

It seems to follow the view you use in the Calendar app. Go to your Calendar app and view your events as a list (go to a single-day view, then click the list button in the top row). Now the Today Calendar widget should display in list view. It seems to stay this way. But if you go back into regular day view in your Calendar app (with the red line showing current time and the big boxes), then the widget switches back to that.
That's as far as I can tell, but I don't know that it's working 100% consistently.
You could also look at alternative calendar apps which have a widget feature that is more compact and in which you can specify how your widget calendar should look. A huge problem with the Apple calendar widget is the lack of not showing all day events. Luckely most of the 3rd party widgets do show this.
I have exactly the same thing. This way the calendar widget is unusable to me.
It's way too large and takes a lot of space.
I'd like to know how to get the compact view too.
