<title>Appearance of Appointments</title>

<!-- TODO:POST-3-2: Just listing the partially busted UI options (also see calendar-layout-general-formatting) here is very poor and not task-oriented, but that's it for the time being. Better ideas welcome. -->

<!-- TODO:ANDREKLAPPER: File bug report similar to #655666 once checked in 3.1 about General & Display tabs. This is a huge mess, e.g. time settings are split onto two tabs. -->
