A solid color bar spanning multi-day events in month view/widget, instead of event name on every day

@Anonymous: Thank you for voting for this feature here! I sent you as response to your email a few minutes ago. This was my response:

I am not sure if it is possible at all. It already works in the smaller, 4x3 month widget, so you could just use that widget if you like.This small widget is displayed as an image and Calengoo can display everything in the way it wants it to be displayed. However the larger widgets cannot be displayed as images because the Android system doesn't allow such large images for widgets. So larger widgets have to be displayed as a lot of text fields and layout objects. However this also adds many restrictions to how the widget can be displayed. E.g. then Calengoo does not know how wide a day is and thus does not know how/where to continue the banner (i.e. at which part of the word). So currently I think it is impossible to display the [large 4x4] month widget with banners.
[...]
------------------------------------------------------But I will try to examine it again in the future and maybe Google will also add better widget functions to Android in the future that will allow to display the banners in the same way as in the app itself.

A solid, continuous color bar for multi-day events with a single event name that is centered on the bar, is available for the month view but NOT for the month widget.
I have sent an email to android@calengoo.com to request that this feature be extended to the month widget but I have not gotten any response.
This feature needs to be implemented as an option for the month widget. Otherwise the month widget looks awkward to read because of 2 issues with multi day events: 1st issue is the repeating title for each day and 2nd issue is a break in the continuous bar when other events (whether all day or timed events) are present.

So like Google calendar on the web, an event spanning a week would have the text on the first day, with the color bar spanning the next days, instead of the text written on every single day.
