Entire day appointments in Outlook calendars are automatically formatted as being behind other appointments, with the coloured title bar only taking up the space needed to display the appointment title. What is the outlook (no pun intended) on having this (or any) formatting option available for appointments that are not marked as "Entire day"?

When I create all-day and part-time appointments, what I get is that the all-day appointment doesn't move with my timeline, it stays on top, do you get the same results as me?
In addition, I noticed that you added the "Office Document" tag, did you use some development-related scripts such as vba?
Are you trying to make all day appointment more obvious or what? Please provide more information for us to know.

2023-04-26T07:10:35.64+00:00 Hi @Faery Fu-MSFT Thank you for your reply. To answer your first question, then yes. I get the same result To your second question; no, I did not. I added the tag in hopes of reaching more eyes. Third question; All day appointments are formatted in such a way that they, depending on the chosen "show as..." option, do not push other appointments to the side. The title of all day appointments sits at the top, ie. beginning of the day. What I would like, was for the option to format non-all day appointments in the same manner. That is, with a coloured title bar that only takes up the vertical space of the title text, and with a "body" that doesn't push other appointments to the side. Does that make it more clear?

Thanks for your response, from your description, you mean the part-time appointments that are arranged horizontally like below, right?
