screenshot of the different event-time and occupied/free-time limits

When entering an event, lets say it starts on 17:50 and goes to 20:40, orage displays this event in the calendar view. 

If you take a look at the weekview, the event is displayed to start at the full hour before its actual starting point (17:00 in this example) and the coloured part lasts exactly for one hour.
The occupied/free indicator is correct, though.

In my opinion, the exact timeframe that belongs to an event should be coloured in the event's category color.

Yes, the texts are always in one of the "slots", so text or colour does not show the starting nor ending time for the event. The text is located on the full hour line. Only the vertical line on the left of that text shows the real start and end point. 

I could set the vertical line to be the colour of the event. Is that what you mean?

no, thats not what I meant.

The occupied-bar on the left is perfect (for me, at least), please leave it as it is.

I meant removing the 1hr-slots and having the events freely time-scaled. A certain  minimum height to read the event would be nice, though :)
I've added a drawing of how i imagined seeing the exact timeframe of an event. (see attachment)
If you just coloured the occupied-bar on the left, you wouldn't
- see the difference between two events of the same category
- still wouldn't see the timeframe on events that are not marked as occupied (Ical "transparent" instead of "opaque"), because the black occupied-bar on the left is white (as intended).

ok, yes,  I agree this would be nice. But it is very difficult to code. Specially when we start having overlapping events.
This makes a good enhancement though, but in the near future you will have to settle for the tooltip hint, which explains the full duration.

The orage project is not maintained anymore and has been archived. Closing bugs.
