Hi, So the main GUI change is that user must have a option to mark the event as the recurring event and add the recurring frequency and recurring exceptions when he is creating a event (with regard to recurring events). So regarding showing the events in the calender there should be no change as the user must see a recurring event also as a normal event that is happening according to the recurring frequency.
