Description

Hey all!
I've been using khal for a while and really appreciate the simplicity and focus of it.
However, I'm using quite a few calendars and noticed that I'm having trouble with the readability of certain elements, leading up to missing a real life appointment, because my eyes just skipped over it!

Having done a lot of UI design in my past, this got me thinking on how I would adapt the UI if I could change it any way I wanted. In a surge of motivation, I started creating mockups, which I'd like to share here now. Maybe some of the ideas resonate and even might be implemented (I consider my own coding skills still too inferior to have the guts of actually diving in an submitting PRs)!

Anyway, I'm happy for any thoughts and feedback on this.
Cheers!
