The other thing I don't like is how it treat "All day" events which I commonly use. They show "23:59" as time in aggregate view and "00:00" without aggregation, why?
The time displayed in aggregated mode currently is the end time of the first event in the aggregated view. If you had expiry on start of event set this would be the start time of the first displayed event. As in aggregated mode the time field in the footer is semantically not needed (I still have to supply it in order to ensure correct ordering of the feed entries) I have chosen those values. Do you think it would be a better idea to use the start time of the first event in both cases?

The reason I have added is to avoid confusion if no time is displayed at all. I agree that it could be removed for the next version unless someone here speaks up that it is really required.

Sometimes the spacing between the items shown are uneven, not sure what causes this though.
In which view mode and do you mean vertical spacing between the title and the footer? I have had one report where Google Calendar always adds a space in the description field of an all-day event which the current version displays. I have worked around this in the current development version and that fix will be included in the next releases.

Theoretically it would be possible by programmtically looking at the list of uncleared notifications and somehow deriving the actual event from that. I'm not sure whether this is feasible though (I'm not sure if the unique ID of the calendar entry is attached to the notification). I'll look into it when I have time but I am going to implement the new aggregation modes and other requests first.
