Calendar UI design examples

A week-view calendar shows how time is committed across days so people can plan around it. Our screens include a week time grid with colour-coded and overlapping events, an all-day row, a mini month for quick navigation and toggles for individual calendars, designed for web and mobile in eight visual styles with light and dark themes. Every example is an original design that comes with its HTML code and a DESIGN.md of colour, type and spacing tokens, in light and dark. Free to use and adapt.

Calendar design tips

Place overlapping events side by side with narrower widths rather than stacking them, so every event's start time and title stay readable.
Draw a current-time line across today's column and scroll the grid to working hours on load, so people land where they are most likely to look.
Pair each calendar's colour with its name in the toggle list, and keep event text contrast high on every colour you use.
Keep all-day events in a separate row above the grid, because placing them in the time slots implies a start time they do not have.

Questions

How do calendar apps show overlapping events?

Most split the time slot into columns, so overlapping events sit side by side at reduced width, sometimes with a slight offset so the later one appears in front. Each event still starts and ends at its correct position. When too many overlap, a compact summary that opens a list keeps the grid readable.

Should a calendar default to day, week or month view?

Week view suits most work calendars because it balances detail with context. Day view suits busy schedules on small screens, and month view suits planning ahead. Remember the last view each person chose, and on mobile consider a day or three-day view as the default.

How should calendar colours be chosen?

Give each calendar a distinct hue, keep the set limited to around eight to twelve options, and check that event text meets contrast requirements on every one. Let people change colours themselves. In dark mode, reduce saturation slightly so blocks do not glare against the background.
