Changing shared calendar row-height in Schedule View - outlook

In my company we share calendars. I have somewhat 60 calendars that I regularly check (got that number up from the standard 30 with a registry edit) but the calendar view in outlook is so unprofessional looking and unmanageable compared to for example a Gantt chart. Is there any trick I can do to reduce the height of each shared calendar so that I can quickly see who's busy? Currently I can only see about 20 and scrolling is slow and laggy due to the amount of calendars.
My goal is to have a compact list with appointment headers that can be looked over just with a glance to see who is busy.
I tried searching the web for a setting or system-tweak that would enable me to achieve this goal, but it would seem it is a niche problem...

How to effectively document analytical events?

can you tell me how to effectively document analytical events (clicks on buttons, etc. for websites) for further easy updating and easy work of different teams on one product with the ability to change events and so on (because the design of the website changes often).
I currently use excel with event, description, additional parameters, and a screenshot of the place with the button.
I wonder how other people do it, maybe there are already good tools for such tasks. Share your ideas if you don't mind, I would be grateful.

React native slow perfomance on calendars

I have tried many open source RN Calendar components out there and all of them seem to have performance issues.
I built my own CalendarList with a simple grid layout using FlexBox inside a FlatList, and it also becomes unusable due to rendering Performance issues.
There are around 1200 Views (13 months shown x 85 views p/month ) components according to the Perf Monitor. It seems the Bridge gets jammed when updating the 1200
It seems the issue is that a calendar has around 300 components which RN can't update without jamming the JS thread.
Workarounds i tried:
Using setNativeProps to perform update.
Using getItemLayout for skipping FlatList measurements.
Caching components (Not react way of doing things)
Made all my components PureComponents which are faster.
Displaying a Placeholder waiting for the calendar to render (not pretty and still jams the UI)
I wonder how people use a calendar lists in React Native, as i can't make any perform fast.

How can I get an Outlook Office Addin using the Office UI Fabric to pick up the users current theme in OWA

I'm using the primary theme colours from Office UI Fabric Core, but no matter which theme I change to in Outlook Web Access my add-in colors don't change. It's constantly using the default blue.
I've tried clear browser history/cache, different users, different browsers, different machines.
When displaying an Outlook Add-in in OWA the add-in is displayed in its own sandboxed iframe (if this helps someone who knows how the dynamic theme mechanism is suppose to work).
Office UI Fabric team member here. Sorry for the incredibly long delay, I'm just now seeing questions about Fabric on SO.
This question has come up a number of other times and is a scenario we hope to address soon. I don't have a great answer for when we can enable picking up & applying specific Office client themes, but know that this is important for us to support in our own product scenarios, so I'd expect to see developments here soon. We'll be working with specific product teams to figure out the best way to handle this from a technical perspective.
That said, in the meantime, it is actually possible to load themed styles in Fabric-React today that should give you an indicator of what the solution might look like: try changing a theme color like themePrimary on this page, then view a component like Button to see that change reflected there. I imagine the solution we end up with will look similar to this.

How can I make calendar notifications show bigger?

This seems like an easy thing but I'm coming mainly from the Win world to Mac. Is there a way I can make notification alerts bigger? Or install a different App that will do this?
Right now if I notice them, I see a little alert boxes in the upper right of the desktop when a calendar appointment comes up. I have no sound...and might not be sitting at the desk anyhow...so if I have a lot of windows up and happen not to look at the upper right (actually of two screens)...I just miss the notification. I'd like to have a lot of control over those pop ups. Size, perhaps different actions (flash the screen until acknowledged?) etc. At the very least it's just not useful to me at all unless I can increase the size of the popups somehow. Jack up the font size? Again, maybe some different app that I need? Etc.
Thanks in advance! Man I can't seem to hit on the magic Google input to return anything useful on this topic.
After some research, amazingly it seems there is no way to customize OS X native notification display. The best I have come up with, in theory but not personally tested, is to add a third party notification app called Growl which is much more customizable, and then add an app that produces Growl notifications based on iCal entries. I haven't done this yet because it seems like a lot of hassle and overkill...so for now I've been living with the native notifications. When I have time I'll try the Growl route...unless I see something different posted here.

Recommendations for presentation software with realtime scrolling text

What's the best software / tool stack to display realtime scrolling names and a chart that shows a graph of donations? This is for a fundraising event and would be shown on the big screen. Donations will be received real-time and will be entered into a database. We want to have a live presentation that scrolls through the donors names as they are entered in the DB and have a graph that updates to show the total donations. Ideally we would like to be able to run this through a laptop and not be dependent on a cloud service as internet connectivity may not be solid at the event site.
If you're looking to do it yourself, and don't mind paying for the license, DevExpress seems to have the ability to do real time charts, if you don't want to pay for a license, then there is plenty of libraries that can do realtime charting in any imaginable plataform.
