 * On the event overview the date column shows random numbers. I think it would 
   be better to show only date. Add another column for time, maybe.

 * The problem is my custom setting for “Time”, which is “G:i Uhr”. Even if I only
   use “G:i” I get the same output.

 * Hello fabbaf,
   The issue stems from the fact that “Uhr” is converted into different
   time elements instead of just shown as the plain word “Uhr”.The proper format
   would be :G:i \U\h\rthough security measures in the plugin are removing the backslashes
   after this is saved. It’s safe to be more lenient with date formats though. I’ve
   changed the sanitization and will include a fix to allow this format in the next
   update.In the meantime, can you leave off the “Uhr” part of the format and add“\
   U\h\r” after the update?

 * Will do, but even if I only use “G:i” I get the same output.

 * A fix was applied for this in version 1.5. It allows for the formatting as I 
   showed above for static words.
