Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view.  It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out.  I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment.  I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description.  I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

Hi Daniel,
The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour.  It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
Choose Edit > Get Info.
Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes

    I have my iMac in a fairly promenent location so that anyone can see what is currently playing on the system that is almost always piping music throughout the house via several airport expresses.
    any tips?

    I'm not sure this will work, but I think the best chance is:

  • How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

    How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

    I'm wondering the same thing.
    Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
    Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

  • How can I change the way iCalendar looks?

    Ho can I change the way iCalendar is formated.  It looks kind of like a cork board and it's not very attractive.

  • Can i change the way my txt messages appear  on my screeen, i hate the bubble speach mode??

    Hello Is there a way i can change how my messages appear as i dont like the bubble speach message mode??.  Also i like to listen to the radio through my head phones, but cant seem to do this, does anyone know of a radio app that would alow me to do this without a streaming radio app ??.

    1.  You can't change the way text mssage appear
    2.  The iPhone doesn't have a radio, so you cannot listen to the radio without a streaming app.

  • Can we change the from address displayed in gmail

    Hi,
    I am using javamail to send mails from gmail account. I was able to change the from name in e- mail with the name
    I specified. But can I use javamail to change the from address displayed in gmail ? If its possible please tell me how.
    Urgent requirement in my project. Please help.
    Example.
    Now its displayed like this.
    specifiedName<mail id from which campaigns are sent>
    I want to change it to
    specifiedName <specified email id> [ I want to mask the original id]

    JavaMail will let you set the From address to whatever you want, but Gmail might
    not let you send a message with a From address that doesn't match the account
    you're using for sending, or it might override the From address you set to be the
    From address corresponding to the account.
    The best approach is to send the message from an account that matches the
    From address. If you can't do that, you probably need another ISP or your own
    mail server that will allow you to specify whatever you want.

  • After You Drag an Icon Into the Dock, Can You Change the Way it Looks?

    I work with files that are on a few Windows servers, so I can't change the icons of any files or folders that are on those servers. I've dragged each of the servers' icons into my dock so I can access them quickly, but all the icons in the dock look the same. Is there a way I can change the icons in the dock that represent those servers? There's no "Get Info" for them so you can't copy and paste the same way you can with folder/file icons that reside on your hard drive.
    I created an alias (shortcut), copied it onto my desktop, changed that icon, then dragged that into my dock, and then deleted all the original aliases, but it doesn't hold the link, so I want to be able to drag the server icon into the dock and then access that icon and change it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    Anything on this yet? The whole "alias/shortcut" thing didn't work. I actually got it to work but after restarting the computer the icons in the dock show as question marks.
    Isn't there a resource file or something I can dig into to change those icons in the dock?
    Thanks...

  • How can i change the aspect ratio in Event Library?

    the videos i imported to iMovie from iMac look horizontally distorted. i took them with an iPhone4. when importing them, i chose 16:9 ratio, this may be the reason. i can not change the ratio to 3:2. Thanks.

    Hi likethis,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The iPhone 4 records at HD 720 p, so that is why your clips are distorted.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/sp587
    Video recording, HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio
    5-megapixel still camera
    Do you still have the clips on your iPhone?   If so, here is how to import them into the latest version of iMovie:

  • Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

    I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

    I also have an issue  with not being able to change  "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM  and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
    Nor can  change the "add day" default.
    I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
    Thanks!

  • How can I change the default alarm for events in ical?

    How to change default alarm

    I've been curious about this issue as well. I think it would be nice if there were more options to select the default alarm... from within the preferences themselves. Even being able to choose how many days before vs. always figuring out how many minutes are in multiple days.
    While someone has found a method for changing the sound to accompany messages, users are still not able to select the type. I prefer message only (no sound), although I supposed this is the same as the current default minus any sound. I tried blank and "" entries for 'Default alarm sound' in the .plist file with no success (blank reverts back to Basso, and "" just didn't work).
    I wonder if there are some other items that could be listed in the .plist file to offer more choices such as "Default alarm type". Is there a way to figure out what key variables/values iCal uses for? Someone must have figured out that iCal will look in the .plist file for a 'default sound value'. I'm guessing that there are more of these values that could be set by the user.
    A similar question - it would be nice to be able to set the default alarm time for all-day events. I suppose it doesn't matter all that much since 11:45pm probably means I'll just get the message the next morning; I still guess I'd prefer something like 8am though.
    Forgive the novel...

  • How do I change the way music displays podcasts on my ipad 2?

    On my iPod nano, iPhone, iMac the podcasts are listed with the most recent ones at the top.  On my new iPad 2 the oldest ones are listed at the top.  How do I change the display settings to show the most recent ones first? 
    2) If I go to check my email when I'm listening to something, when I go back to the music app it shows the top of the list again, instead of showing where I was.  Frustrating!!
    3) Usually the menu at the bottom of the music app can be customized (for example I want "podcasts" to be one of the choices instead of "songs").  Is there any way to change this?
    Thank you very much!

    Goto slideshow>music your library of songs will come up choose wat song u wish to play then start slideshow.

  • How can we change the name of dynamic events selector label in Event Structure

    When retriving references to Control that are contained in a cluster. The default name that
    appear in the Event Structure is: : Mouse down.
    I have found a workaround to correct the problem. But I would apreciate a more convinient way to do this.
    This is the workaround I found to change the names in the Event Structure
    I cast the References using a Reference constant and I change the label of
    that constant.
    See the VI for more detail. It is well commented.
    Is there any way to change the name of a dynamic event without doing the
    cast trick?
