This has been "planned" for quite a while now. How hard can it be? Instead of adding themes and other useless flourishes, how about prioritising usability suggestions like this one, please. Particularly, when there are users (myself included) who are telling you this is a road block to upgrading to BC2.

This is a key issue blocking me from upgrading. About every 6 months I forget, I give in to the constant prompts to upgrade to BC2, waste 10 minutes doing settings (because it doesn't actually copy them from BC1 in spite of what it claims), then try to look at my agenda and it's awful. My phone is small. I want compact views. Going to uninstall BC2 once again....

I agree too. And I would like to add another point:
The light-gray horizontal separator line is now beneath the date.
It should be black, and it should be *above* the date.
This is more logical and therefore avoids confusion.

A colors are needed, but icon (squares) must be adjustable.

Agree, agree! This is now the primary reason I haven't switched from BC1. Would like blacker, darker text as well.

I agree. In my agenda view I can see 7 calendar items on my screen (Galaxy S4). In the previous version of the app I can see 10. The newer version of the app devotes too much vertical space to the color squares that show the time of each calendar entry. I would love to see a setting that allows me to turn off those color squares -- simply showing the time of the event as text, not embedded in an overly-large color square, would be better. I have yet to switch to the new app for this reason, but I install it every now and then hoping that this requested setting will show up one day :-(

I don't like the colour boxes with the time in them, it would be nice to have the option to have just sizeable colour boxes.
