Today we’re adding two features that make it easier to customize Google Calendar. First, you can now change your default event length from the standard 30 minute slot. If you frequently create 15 minute meetings, for example, you can now make 15 minutes the default length for all your events. This way, you don’t need to click into the event page to change the duration every time.
You can change the default length of your events from the Calendar settings page. Next to the “Default meeting length” option, choose the length you’d like from the drop-down menu on the right. From there, you can also enable “Speedy meetings,” which automatically shortens events that are 30 minutes or longer to allow you to prep for your next meeting or get to your next appointment if you have a packed schedule.
Second, for those of you who still prefer paper and print your calendar, you can now select a specific date range in the print dialog box. Google Calendar will automatically format your printout for the date range you choose.
We hope you find these new customization options useful. Let us know what you think in the Google Calendar Help Forum.
Editors note: These features are currently launching to all Rapid Release Google Apps accounts.

Can we get a "0 minutes" option? I often have events with uncertain duration (or zero duration, like a 5pm deadline), so I'd like events to have zero length (end time same as start time) unless I specifically enter an end time.
my appointments are generally back to back i.e starts at 10am finishes at 10:15 next appointment starts at 10:15 finishes at 10:30 and so on.
At the moment in calendars this looks untidy and all ends up on top of each other so can't differentiate between appointments, can I change this?
