  • Adapt the tests for changes
  • Add the attendee icon from #3994
  • Show the checkbox icon when the event is a task

Comment from @jancborchardt

  • The time shouldn't be bold as it's not more important than the event name. Actually making it color-text-maxcontrast might be better
  • The icons also seem very present, I'd say less opacity, like we do for menu icons in the left navigation: Icon opacity could go down to 50%
  • For long events, the content is vertically centered in the box which looks a bit strange. Would look better top-aligned

Research direction

Start by reviewing the remaining unchecked requirements and the existing event rendering, especially the eventDidMount.js check logic mentioned in the issue. Compare the current calendar views with the attached design context, then adapt the remaining icon, task, typography, alignment, and color behavior and update the relevant tests; done means the listed visual requirements are covered.
