Additional ways to access settings
Without a menu button on my tablet the small setting wheel isn't well placed and is very small to tap whenever I want to add a new event.

You can probably also just long press the "recent apps" button to open the menu. Additionally you can create new events in other ways: In the day view you can just double tap a free space. In the agenda view you can tap the "+" button. And the week and month view can be configured to create a new event when the blank space in a day is tapped.
But nevertheless a toolbar will be added soon to the bottom of the screen to access the "New event" function directly. It will also contain a larger menu button.
