Invitation status
Events on your calendar look different depending on how you’ve responded:
- If you’re attending an event, the event will be a solid color.
- If you’ve answered maybe to an event, you’ll see diagonal lines across it.
- If you haven’t replied yet, you’ll just see the event’s outline.
- If you said no, you’ll only see the outline and the event will be crossed out.
Settings
- simpler, one place for setting changes
- make “modify event” the default
- new world clock
- no more labs
- you can always go back to classic Calendar
