Hi Jeffrey,
I use QWP 5.7 for SP 2010 and my calendar looks good without any intervention/customization (see attached).
I order to help you further please let me know the following:
– QWP and SP version
– skin name (in case of a custom skin please attach it to the tread)
– export qCalendar and the list and attach the templates to the tread
– other web parts on the page
