Google Calendar - updated Calendar menus


One of the biggest changes with the Google Calendar updates is the reorganization of the menu/setting options.  The initial layer is cleaned up.  The secondary layer is at first glance overwhelming, but if you take a few minutes to look through it you realize that there is really not much new there - it is just that reorganization of the items.

First - here is a look at the new next to the old menus when you right click on a calendar -
The colors are cleaned up and reorganized, and there are only a few options on this menu now.  The "Display only" and "Hide from list" options are now a little more obvious than they were before.  Everything else is now the the third option - Settings and sharing.  Here is what you get when you select that for a calendar -

All those items listed above are actually links to the various sections now found in the main content area of the page - 
There really isn't much new, but there is some rewording of several sections which should help especially newer users to know what it is (more details on these in another post).

You also have some setting choices at the top.  Note that this is now where you go to create an additional calendar -

If you select General, similar to the Calendar settings, you get a list of sections that are in the main content area of the page so you can easily jump to the section you want -

Again - all these are on one long list (another post on this as well) -
Overall, these changes are probably more intuitive than how it was previously setup, especially the menu that pops up when right-clicking on a menu (which on the old view seems like it just had new options tacked on as developed rather than in a meaningful order).
