Feature description

I am currently evaluating this calendar against Etar, and I generally like this one better.
One thing that works better in Etar however, is the way it grays out the past. I find that the little "now" marker here, sometimes hides a bit between the events or goes off the top or bottom of the screen, while the discreet gray background gets me oriented at a glance.

Why do you want this feature?

It would improve the usability a little, by making it quicker and more intuitive to find the current moment in the different calendar views.

1. In which views do you mean?
2. What exactly should be grayed out? Background? Date? Something else?

Sorry, should have been more specific. Updated title now.
The graying out of past events works fine when there are sufficient events, but on days where the recent past is more sparse it requires more "hunting" to find the "now" marker.

This is most noticeable in the weekly view, but I guess it would have to be applied to the other views as well, to be consistent, which might be an argument against it.

Here is an image I found of how it looks in Etar
