General settings

You can set the default view that will be displayed when you open the calendar page by selecting the desired view from the dropdown menu (Day, Week, Month, Year, Work Week, Task (Days), Task (Hours)).

You can also use different themes for the calendar by applying a custom CSS file to the web part.
