Abstract
A calendar application is disclosed for emphasizing current and near time periods. The calendar application may provide a calendar interface which displays the current time period in the left-most column. Thus, in an example where the calendar interface displays a week of time, the calendar interface may display the current day first, and not Sunday or Monday as in conventional calendar applications. When the calendar interface is configured to show multiple rows of time periods, the calendar application may additionally or alternatively display some of the rows larger relative to others of the displayed rows. For example, in a monthly view displaying four weeks, a default view may present the first and second rows, representing the current week and the following week, with a larger area on the display than the last two rows representing the third and fourth weeks from the current date.
