Description strangequark 2021-11-18 11:30:13 UTC 
SUMMARY
Currently, in the week view, the events for the day are too small in width, especially if the Event details view is open. Having a per-day view, which looks like the week view but the events of only one day are displayed, or something like a (number of days configurable) 3-4 day view, where only a number of days is displayed, would increase the width that one day can have and not make it feel cluttered.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
n/a

OBSERVED RESULT
In the week view, the width of a day is too small and the events look cluttered, because the titles and dates take two or more lines

EXPECTED RESULT
A configurable '(number)-day view', where only a small number of days is displayed, so that the width of a day is increased and it doesn't look as cluttered.

This has now been implemented!

Reopening as there is no "day" view as of Kalendar 22.08.1. There is the "schedule" view, but that's quite a different thing. Moreover, there is a header on all views for every day, but clicking on it yields no visible effect (the terminal says "qrc:/KalendarUiUtils.qml:231: TypeError: Value is undefined and could not be converted to an object").

There is a day view, just go to the week view and on the top you can choose to display one, 3 or an entire week

I would never have thought of looking for a *day* view under a *week* view. Implementing it as a separate option would indeed make the option discoverable (as I would argue it is not at all at the moment). It should also be noted that every single other calendar application I have ever tried, both on desktop and mobile platforms, has a separate day view that is accessible as such. While doing what others do is not always necessarily the best thing, in this case it is such a standard that doing something different ends up being confusing to the user.
