Feature description

Disclaimer: i'll use screenshots from Etar calendar because the issue is exactly the same in that app (Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar#1362).

Visually overlap overlapping events so as to use the most available space.
Example:

ignoreImageMinify

Why do you want this feature?

Two overlapping events - by which i mean events that span over the same day/hour and would visually happen together - are usually both shrinked in width so that they both correctly occupy the right timeslots. This is a problem because it means you usually end up with only a colored block, instead of the colored block with details on what it actually represents.
For example :

ignoreImageMinify

This is what the two look like when they're not planned on the same timeslot, which as you can see provides a lot more detail on what it actually is:

Additional information

As noted in the above disclaimer, these screenshots are taken from Etar calendar, but this very much applies to Fossify Calendar as well. My request originally regards only day view but can be applied to other views.
