How to reverse Google's b***ering about with calendar?

[Bill]

They've added a load of stupid graphics and I can't see a way to turn them off. I've tried changing theme with no luck.

I know I don't have much on which doesn't help, but the stupid month graphic and the naff toothbrushes!!

Looks like a toothbrush and a dental stick-mirror. Who has one of them in a glass?

You're in Schedule view - switch to month, week or day view

It's been like this for ages and I've never found a way to change it. The month breaks and graphics are a pointless waste of space. I suspect you are like me and have relatively few appointments that you just want to see in a concise timeline overview.

I did use Jorte as a calendar viewer for a while (they had a decent widget you could use for a schedule view). Not sure why I don't have it now, maybe I will have to have another look at it.

The problem is the lack of stuff going on in your life! If you had more stuff you'd not notice the month-breaks and you'd not have time to worry about it either :-)

It does look terrible like that, but if you have a full calendar they're a useful prompt as you scroll I think. If you add a location to your events it will tend to change to a picture of the location, or a map of where the event is.

It looks like something by/for a 7 year old.

So it has! Just scrolled back and spotted it. I normally have much more booked in and use the widget so haven't noticed. And it looks like the wky dentist graphic is the only one the bot does (in my life at least...)

But they do seem to have changed the way appointments work. It was going in to sort it out that made me notice the graphics.

Been like that for ages, I have mine set in month view.
