Event thumbnails in full month calendar

Wishlist Event Calendar
1

Hi there!

I’ve never posted here before–I’m hoping there will eventually be more options to make the full month event calendar layout more visually appealing(?). Things like:

-Event thumbnails
-Reducing title text scale (rather than getting cut-off) if it’s too long to fit
-A visually appealing solution if there are multiple events on a given day
-Maybe details pop-up on hover?

For now I’m using the grid layout, which is GREAT but it’s also very big and takes up a lot of space on my (Squarespace) webpage too.

Thanks!

Hi there, @Brad2 and welcome to the Community :wave:

Thank you so much for your suggestions!

The idea of displaying the thumbnails sounds great, and we’ll try to think it over in the future.

The size of the event name can be adjusted in the Events section on the Style tab:

I also like your idea to display the popup on hover. I’ve created a separate request for this - Display details popup on hover in Month layout

As for the visually appealing solution for multiple events in one day, could you please share how you envision this improvement?

Thanks for considering those suggestions, Max.

In terms of my note mentioning visual appeal for multiple events in a day, I was just flagging I’d imagine the event thumbnails (and text) would need to adjust to still be visual while stacked & possibly crammed in with multiple events in a given day–if that makes sense. :slight_smile: Maybe when stacked, that’s part of what appears in the hover pop-up.

Thanks again.

So, this is just a part of this idea, right? - Display details popup on hover in Month layout

Maybe more thoughts once it’s seen in action but at this point, yep–all part of the same idea. Thanks!
