Show Appointment Days

The Outlook Upcoming Appointments Vista sidebar gadget Mobile-ready link shows a list of 3 or 5 appointments. This is basically the same view Outlook 2007 gives you on the To-Do Bar, which is on the right side of the default Outlook view. When I look at these lists, I always pause to check what day the appointments are for. Granted, there is text in the appointment block that says the day, but I'd like something that's outside of the appointment that groups them together. The reason I'd like it outside of the appointment info block is because it would make it easier to see what appointments are on what days. One of the first things you learn when it comes to formulating user interfaces is that white space is good. Too much info in a small area takes longer to consume. Adding a small break between appointments with the name of the day would be very simple and I think would make it easier to scan thru this information. Of course, my this applies to both the gadget and Outlook client view.
