Here is the reasoning behind the slanted text: I wanted an easy way for the user to be able to scan the events in a sequential way. If the text is placed horizontally and stacked it is hard to tell the order, if it is horosontal and spaced out it forces the user to do a lot of scrolling to see more events and get a "big picture", and if the text is completely vertical its impossible to read. I will look into reducing the slant as much as possible, but I am wide open to suggestions on another solution. Sami Wagiaalla
