Allow users to customize timezone display on a per-calendar basis
I live in California, so my primary calendar is set to PST. But I travel a lot to other TZs. Example, I travel to Chicago often, so I have a secondary calendar set to CST. Let's say I am going there next week, and have an appointment that starts at 11AM in Chicago. I enter it into the CST calendar, with start time 11AM. BUT, when viewed in Calengoo (while I am sitting in California) it shows as a 9AM appointment - that is, it is displayed in the local time where the viewer is sitting when he looks at it. I know this is what Gcal does too, but I find it very counter-intuitive, because the user constantly has to do "mental math" to recalculate the ACTUAL start time of the meeting. So, would it be possible for Calengoo to simply change the display time, so that events are always show in the local time of their location (in this case, the event would always be displayed as starting at 11AM - maybe adding a little indicator noting the TZ, i.e., CST)??

I agree completely, this is a real problem if you have appointments in different TZs. I find the same thing in reverse - while away in a different TZ and looking ahead at appts at home when I get back, they are shifted. It's worse if you just change TZ by 1 or 2 hours. E.g. that 10am meeting shows up at 11am, which is plausible so it's easy to miss the fact that it's showing you the wrong time.
I would like to be able to specify a calendar as "timezone-neutral", so the events always display at the times they were entered, no matter what zone you're in. I know Gcal doesn't support this, but Calengoo could make the necessary adjustments to produce the equivalent result.
