Thanks again for the quick response!
Even if you believe that it is more practical to see 24 hours of the
day, practice dictates a different approach. The problem remains that
by squeezing the work day into less than one third of the screen
results in illegible entries. Even with my "huge" 17" screen, each
hour only gets 1cm (less than the width of my thinnest finger). The
best use of screen real estate would be to only show the working hours
(scaled up to the size of the window). Entries outside working hours
should extend the displayed time range to include those entries.
All day entries should only be shown in the row at the top and not
effect the hours displayed.

Thanks again,
Matthias
