Well. I got it working by using a TCEmain hook.

Probably not the correct list to discuss this here. But I find it more  
intuitive without the "all-day" button. You would have to hide the fields  
for times if the all-day box is checked - and that means saving in TYPO3.  
And if I'd decide to enter a time, I'd have to uncheck the box and save  
again to see the fields..? I don't find that very userfriendly and  
intuitive. After all, the extension has the word "simple" in its name. ;)  
- although it's capable of a quite a lot.

Christian.
