If you mean the "Events List" component, it's in there!!!

The way to implement is to setup 2 module instances...1) with all the events on it....2) setup the 2nd instance, and in the settings, point to the 1st instance (see Sub-Calendars), then set the default view to "List" and check the "Only View" option.

Is this what you're referring to?

Ahh.  You are referring to the original DNN Event module. 

The new event calendar "Month View" can be styled any way you like.  In fact, we have included 3 diff. themes...You can add new themes easily to change the size/look. 

I hadn't really considered anyone wanting just a basic small calendar.  One of the problems when you want to show a small calendar is how do you handle displaying multiple events on a Day (Month Cell).  How would you handle this so it would not grow as you add events?  One way might be to color-code each day w/events in them and when you select the day number, display a list of events...then if you want more detail, select each in the list.  How would you handle...specifics?
