Mockup of item view

I often want to glance at an event to see what I've written in there for a description, but if the description is short, it is difficult to see the information at a glance. The reason is that the item view sidebar does not present the information in a friendly way.

I've attached a mockup that I think looks better and increases readability significantly. It would be nice if something similar could be considered in a revamp of the item view sidebar.

If you'd like to do this yourself, the two most important files to change are 
https://invent.kde.org/pim/kcalutils/-/blob/master/src/templates/incidence_header.html
and
https://invent.kde.org/pim/kcalutils/-/blob/master/src/templates/template_base.html
which are Grantlee templates that are used to generate HTML. Adding new details like the color swatch would require changes to 
https://invent.kde.org/pim/kcalutils/-/blob/master/src/incidenceformatter.cpp

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know enough to make the sort of changes I proposed. Hopefully someone else can take this on.

I just realized this also affects the view in reminders which uses the same template.
