In ver. 7 the calendar month view would show up to 4 events per day and indicate additional events in the date bar. I never upgraded to ver. 8 because you limited the daily list in month view. Now in ver. 9 you are still doing it. Please reduce the size of the date bars to allow more events per day and move the additional events indication back up to the date bar.
Granted, I am not a ‘power user’, and don’t generally have more than 3 or 4 events per day, but I can’t be the only one that feels this way about the calendar…
