@Bas: they keep flaunting their better eye sight because they have no trouble seeing there is an event on the month view. I told them I have trouble noticing any event on the monthly view due to less perfect eye sight. And they just say that's my problem that I should not use month view? I feel irritated that I don't deserve to notice an event in monthly as they do because I don't have their good eye sight.

You guys told me to not read the text because it is only to indicate that there is an event. I told you I am not reading it and I want the indication to be more noticeable for my grandpa eyes, and you guys are making fun of my bad eye sight? Thank you guys.

Phones are not designed to be viewed from 10 feet away so complaining the UI doesn't work at that distance is unrealistic. From 10 feet away I cannot see ANY detail on any app on my phone.

thank you point out what I said about unrealistic requirement. You can just quote that part instead of the whole message. Thank you.

Then, stop looking at it?

 

Though, I do think that it should be a bunch of scribbles instead of actual (fake) text. My eye sight is good and I can still read it perfectly, so it's just strange to see latin on my calendar. Very minor annoyance, really.

you are confused about my message here. I want an indicator that can be identified 10 feet away without trouble. If you can do that now, great for you. I have grandpa eyes, I have trouble comparing the current block square and 99 percent black square that tells me that day has an event. Yes, MS should ignore people with grandpa eye, I understand your argument. But, that's so discriminating users who doesn't have a good eye sight as you.

That sounds disappointing indeed. I thought Azure is cool, but, I guess it is still missing some basic features.

It is number one snack in Zombie Land, so, horary.

Works on my Win8 IE10. Just some slider controls? Is that what I should be looking at?

@Harlequin: yes, except the text are faint and I have an eye strain looking at it. If just telling me there is something that day, just give me a big ! mark for all I care. My eyes hurt looking at monthly view.

@GoddersUK: it is one of the case where MS has no common sense and users are failed to hype the problem on user voice , thus, it is not fixed on WP8. Honesty I just want a small event square with matching calendar color indicates there is an event. Because the text is tiny and faint, it is hard to even know there is an event without squeezing my eyes.

@spivonious: that's would be a natural evolution of windows. I just hope they can still keep the WP model when try switch, aka, tight hardware control, no OS tempering, single 3rd party app, restricted background process model that avoids a lot of spyware that typically plague other OS.
