Star Calendar v10 - Event Management & UI Redesign



Published: January 2025



We're excited to announce the release of Star Calendar v10, featuring a complete redesign of our event management system and user interface! This major update brings significant improvements to how you interact with events, making the platform more intuitive and visually appealing.



🎨 Complete Event Information Redesign



Two-Column Layout


The event information display has been completely redesigned with a modern two-column layout:



  • Left Column: Event details including type, dates, location, and description

  • Right Column: Joining settings and participation controls



This new layout provides better organization and makes it easier to find the information you need at a glance.



Event Name as Page Title


Event names now appear as the main page title, providing better navigation context and a more professional appearance. No more confusion about which event you're currently viewing!



🔧 Enhanced Event Management



Event Editing Capabilities


Event creators can now edit their events directly from the management page:



  • Edit Event Details: Update event name, description, and location

  • Modify Dates: Change start and end times with proper timezone conversion

  • Real-time Updates: Changes are applied immediately with proper validation



Event Deletion


Added the ability to delete events with proper safety measures:



  • Confirmation Dialog: Prevents accidental deletions

  • Data Cleanup: Automatically removes all associated participants and invites

  • Danger Zone: Clearly marked deletion section with warning styling



🎯 Improved Participation Controls



Better Organization


Participation controls are now better organized and more intuitive:



  • Clear Status Display: Current participation status is prominently displayed

Unified design language across all event-related pages:
