[Calendar] month view is uninformative

[maarten klop]

The month view does not give other information than whether an activity is present on that day. Which calendar it comes from, which time or what title are all disregarded. In effect the month view can only be used for determining which dates are Saturdays.

current behaviour: black dots are shown for occupied days. when tapped, a day highlights its number. When tapped again, day view opens. long press does nothing.

proposed behaviour: colored dots are shown for occupied days, colors reflecting the calendar of origin. when tapped, a day highlights its number and shows a popup for the activities that day (similar to all day events in week view). When tapped again, day view opens. Long press opens a dialog for a new event that day. tap again and long press can be switched, as long as both options are quickly available.

I really support this feature request.

I totally agree that this should be available!

Instead of a "popup" or a switch to the "day view" (OMG! fear) rather a view / panel at the lower end of the screen may show.

Similar to what this concept shows for the week view: https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/91d3d632-beautiful-features.jpg?w=1500

The Problem that all dots are black became somewhat worse in OTA13 since it is possible now to sync all google calendars not just the default one.
