Unify “busy / free” visualization between tasks, slots, and calendar events
I
Ivan Lopez
Currently, when a task or slot blocks time in the calendar, it shows a small line on the left side indicating whether the time is busy or free.
This is very helpful because it allows you to quickly see whether that block actually occupies the time or is more flexible.
However, calendar events always look the same, regardless of whether they are set as busy or free in the original calendar.
This creates an inconsistency:
- Tasks and slots → visually show their busy/free state.
- Calendar events → always look blocking, even when they are not.
Proposal
Unify the behavior: Also display on calendar events the same left-line indicator (or a similar visual cue) to reflect whether they are marked as busy or free in the calendar.
Benefits
- Clearer and more consistent visual experience.
- Avoid confusion about which blocks are truly rigid vs. flexible.
- Better time management by easily distinguishing between mandatory meetings and informational/optional events.
