ICal Lion makes it very hard to read overlapping events

iCal Lion makes it very hard to read overlapping events: often one can only easily read one of them. How can we get the interface in iCal for Snow Leopard and before when they were placed size by size rather than on top, and thus obliterated.

Use Terminal.app to turn on the iCal Debug Menu -
defaults write com.apple.iCal IncludeDebugMenu 1
Then in iCal go to the debug menu > Top Sekret (sic) > Uncheck "use iPad style event layout."

HT1414 There's no question IOS7 is advanced but the bright white back ground is a step backwards. It makes the iPhone harder to read.

In particular all photos or any slide show since the beginning of time have always had a black background. Not white. At the very least, the viewing of pictures should have a black back ground. I hope maybe you can introduce some gadgets or an upgrade that lets us choose something other than the bright white background. The accessibility option to inverse the video is awful. All your pics are negatives. I would hope you are hearing many similar comments and I look forward to an upgrade soon that gives us options to change that bright white. If I could I would set my iPhone back to IOS6.
The new IOS also kills your battery no matter it seems how many location services and other apps you disable.

Try different Calendar App. The App Store has many Calendars, some of the best are Free. Great features that you will like, including scrollable screens that can be enlarged with finger touch.

When I display the view-formula command , the information in the cell displays vertically and it is very hard to read. I want it to go back to the horizontal display I have had all along. Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am working with Excel for Mac.

27-inch (2560 x 1440) very hard to read

I just bought an iMac 27-inch (a replacement from the previous iMac 24 inch)
I found out that at full resolution 2560 x 1440, the display is really hard to read as all the icons are minuscule.
While you can adjust the size of the folders on the desktop, when you're inside a software (say InDesign) the palettes are ridiculously minuscule.
I had to actualy switch the display back to 1920 x 1200 resolution to have a interface that looks good and doesn't strain the eyes
But now I have two black bars on each side of the screen
Is there another way to have a eye-friendly resolution while enjoying the full screen experience?
or am I doomed to use the computer at a lower resolution?
Txs

The 27" display high pixel density does make stuff appear small sometimes. But you can always zoom in to the point of interest just by using the control button in conjunction with the magic mouse finger slide up/down (or a mouse with a scroll wheel). You can also change view options for finder items to enlarge icons and the identifying font size.
In apps that display fonts you can usually change the default font sizes (text editors, browsers for example).
It just takes a little bit of getting used to but after a while you won't think about it. I use the zoom feature a lot.

ITMS is very hard to read

Does anyone know how to increase the size and contrast of the Music Store? It has gotten so hard to read since they changed the format. It used to read the search results in a list like in iTunes. Now suddenly it is in a tiny low contrast scrolling frame. How to make it more readable?
I found the Column Browser setting but it shows no search results. It it a bug?
< Edited by Host >

OK here is another question. I found a song I want in the France ITMS, Y.A.S. - Azza from the album Arabology. When I try to buy the song it wants me to login except it says I am not registered in the France ITMS. So the question is, how do I buy from the France store?
It does offer to redirect me to the USA store, but then the default page appears. But upon searching it turns out there is no such song.
So once again I can't buy what I want.

Is there a way to change the color of the answer bubble for the texts? Mine is now in gray and very hard to read

I just updated my iPhone and would like to change the color of the bubble for the text reply. Mine is now GRAY and it is much more difficult to read. The outgoing text bubble is still blue. Can I do this?

Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

My Iphone screen is suddenly very hard to read. The light has disappeared after it had been wet.

My screen is hardly not readable anymore. The light has disappeared, probably after it got wet. Any idea about what I can do to fix it?

This is called "No Backlight Problem", most commonly assciated with water exposure.
Before opening and during any repair on the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone must be OFF or you risk more damage to your iPhone.
10% cause is due to faulty LCD Display, to determine test your LCD Display on another iPhone 3GS or try a new LCD Display on your iPhone. If your LCD is fine, then next step.
80% cause is due to 6r8 Coil on Logic Board. This 1 dollar part must be carefully removed and replaced (soldered) to Logic Board. If still No Backlight Problem, then next step.
10% cause is due to any number of Logic Board problems between the 6r8 coil and the #1 Connector on the Logic Board.

If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....

Using safari web pages have writing over writing hard to read

I do a lot of surfing from web page to web page. Lately it is very hard to read many of the pages as there is writing over writing. Sometimes a section on the page is too small and I cannot read to entire content.

Two main things you can try are to reset Safari, which can be selected under the Safari menu item and try deleting the .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
