The new today pane removed the gradients from the events. We should follow in the views.

Remove them.

In the Day and Week view you can with dragging create an event. Now it is a orange. What do you think about this colour? Should we change it? If yes, what could we use?

Good improvements.

As a follow up we should maybe consider using the same style we're using in the today pane to differentiate between regular and all day events, but only for the multiweek and month view.
Right now all events have the same blocky style, which makes the whole view very busy and unnecessary. The blocky style makes sense in the day/week view so you can easily identify the time extent of a meeting, but in the other views it's just mostly visual noise.

Here we could use #45a1ff, which is a lighter blue from the palette of our primary color. A bit more visually consistent I think.
