In Lightning (I also noticed this in Thunderbird) I would like to see my whole days laid out in the Day and Week views - currently only 9 hours are visible at a time.  The hours seem unnecessarily large/tall (for reference, I think Google Calendar's hours are a much more reasonable size) and I can't find a way to adjust that.

Ideally, it would be nice to have a zoom in/out function that adjusts the height of the hours to allow for both detail and big picture viewing.  Short of that, it would be nice to simply shrink the hours.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Lightning
2. Go to Day or Week view
3. Get blown away by the unwieldy hour cells

menu: extra - options - lightning - views 
set the number of hours in a view -> setting this bug to WFM. 

Reporter feel free to open a new bug in case you want to have shrink/expand buttons for the views.

Aha, thank you Bas.  Not sure how I missed that.  Would be nice to make that more intuitive I think.  Also, why is 9 hours the default?
