Agenda View Skin Settings
Agenda View Skin in Modern Events Calendar is a super choice for informing your website visitors about all the inside information of each event.
From there, it invites the users to a separate page for the event holder with all the prerequisite details. With this display option, the user experience will be incomparable and smooth.
Note: This skin is only available in the MEC Pro version.
Agenda View Skin Shortcode

Agenda View FAQ
How do I add the Agenda View to a page?
Go to M.E. Calendar > Shortcodes, add a new shortcode, choose Agenda View as the skin, set the options above and publish it. Then copy the generated shortcode (for example [MEC id="123"]) into any page, post or widget.
How do I show only some events?
Open the Filter Options of the same shortcode and limit events by category, location, organizer, label, tag or author. See Making Advanced Shortcodes for every filter.
Can the Agenda View show past events?
Yes. In Filter Options > Expired Events, turn on Include Expired Events to show past and upcoming events, or Show Only Expired Events to show only past ones. They are listed from the Start Date you choose.
Is there not a smaller agenda view appropriate for a front page? A smaller widget is needed of upcoming events, with font size/color control.
Hello,
I will forward your comment to the dev team and if possible they will consider this in the upcoming update of the plugin.
Please note, if you need an option that is not included in the MEC, you need to manipulate and it is referred to as customization.
