I wish the calendar scrolling would just go away alltogether.  I don't
like having each month be alternating colors. The darker color makes the
month look "less important" than the white color.  ie: when I'm viewing
a "dark" month,  the days in white stick out more than the dark ones,
and are therefore more distracting.

The best way, IMHO, Is to scroll month-by-month and display the current
month in white, and any days outside the current month are darker... It
would also be nice to display name of the current month in bold at the
top of the window, or somewhere where it makes it obvious what month I'm
viewing...
