showing event start-end times and/or title and/or description can be set to hidden
background events will be always shown as the lowest in the stack and will not be detected for collisions with upper tier events
tapping on background events will not trigger anything, they are just background coloring
use case: generating a sunrise-sunset background
this feature can be used to generate a background for each day that shows the location of the sun in the sky using the events width (sun intensity is useful in some regions to plan out ones day). the app using this can generate these by making lots of 15..60min events with different widths
use case: timeboxes
this feature can be used to color different parts of the day with different color to denote timebox/timebudget/timeblock preference for the user. this also should not collide with real events
use case: weather
the amount of rain can also be shown the same way as sun position
some Events can be marked as background:
