Great! But: The text of a task is correctly oriented at the top of each task – within the houres. Pretty correct. But if you define a task as "all day" (ganztags). (Maybe you know, what day to do something, but not, in which hour.) The task is correctly shown in the top, gets its needed height (One could overthink this, at the all-day-top!), but the text is oriented centered (not top). Thus the text is hidden behind the next all-day-calendar-entry, as the other entries just do not know about other entries bigger height, obviously. I don't know, why the text is oriented centered. Can you change it, to being oriented at the top, like it is at tasks down in the hours? (Or you define, that a all-day-task keeps the normal height like all other normal all-day-entries have.) Second thought: This does not help at the android calendar app, of course, as this is a chrome extension ... :-)
