Change dot colours on month view???

Hi,
Is it possible to change the dot colours on the month view of the calendar so it represents the sync'd calendars?
It would be better if it showed a coloured dot under the day's number relevent to the calendar that has an appointment
+ie. if you have 4 calendars with an appointment on each calendar, it would show 4 colour coded dots under the number.+
I understand room under the numbers is limited, so this would be best kept to 1 dot per calendar, not one dot per calendar appointment.

Hi,
The window positions are kept in your preferences.
Quit iCal and try moving the com.apple.iCal.plist file in User>Library>Preferences to your Desktop, then re-start iCal. The preference file will be re-created with the default settings, this will not affect the contents of your calendars.
best wishes

  • Colored dots in calendar month view

    hello,
    i have an iphone and use the calendar. i have multiple calendars with assigned colors (example: red for professional, green for sport, blue for family). as i am very busy, a black dot appears in almost every day in the month view. if i want to know what i have during a specific day, i enter the day (click on it) and scroll down.
    is it possible to have colored dots in the month view to represent which calendar the activity belongs to? it would be useful to get a global view of the month. for example, i want to see in the month view that i have a meeting on monday (red dot), meeting and sport on tuesday (red and green dots), etc.

    At this time that is not possible.

  • Can i change the dot color IN MONTHLY VIEW

    On my ipad i can see the beginning of (for example: Jen's Birthd) each event i create in monthly view with IOS7 but in my iphone i get only gray dots.  The dots are fine but can i change the color to correspond to events or calendars?  I just uploaded a US holiday calendar and its dots are also gray so everthing is gray and i just know something is happening (not the importance of it) and have to click each day with a dot or flip it and see the week view which is just more confusing to me than the monthly.  Id like to only see the monthly if at all possible. 

    I understand.

  • Publishing a calendar to dot mac in month view

    Is there a way to publish a calendar to dot mac so that it shows up in month view instead of week view? Perhaps a modification of the URL ....
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, I know you can change the view once the page loads. I was just hoping you could display the month view as a default. Maybe something will change when Leopard come out next week.

  • 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!

  • Is it possible to change text colour in code view?

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is possible as never seen it myself, but is it possible to change the text colour in the code of the html?
    A site I am building at the moment is for a school who want to be able to edit text / links occasionally, and as they will only be using something like notepad and have no html knowledge between them whatsoever, I thought if I could highlight bits in the code which are 'not to be played with' it would make everyone's job a lot simpler!
    Possible or not?

    Can the comments only go at the beginning of a line, or can they, for example go after say a <p> tag but before the page text? (If you get my meaning!)
    Eg <p><!--edit from here--!>welcome to our website<!--up to here--!></p>
    Yes, you can, but you need to make sure the HTML comment tags are correct. What you have done won't work, but this will:
    <p><!--edit from here-->welcome to our website<!--up to here--></p>
    Notice that the exclamation mark is only in the opening comment tag. Not in the closing one.

  • IOS 7 Calendar colours only appear in grey in Month View on iPhone 5

    Why are Calendar colours in month view on iPhone 5 only in grey? They just appear as small grey dots underneath the date number. This is about as helpful as a chocolate teapot. I am so disappointed with the iOS 7 upgrade.

  • Do not show dots for 'free' events in the calendar month view

    I wish I could.... not show dots for 'free' events in the calendar month view. For an overview of when I have hard-scheduled events in the calendar it's pretty tedious and slow to go day -by day, and other views... Instead the dot  in the month view... - why does it show even "free" events? Any ideas, tips?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately there is no option to disable the dots.

    There is a "Preferences" selection at the bottom of the Web Calendar "Months at a Glance" sidebar.
    It has a Default calendar: Weekly/Monthly/Daily selection field.

  • TS3999 can't see times of my icloud calendar events when using month view...

    I use a macbook pro and like to view my icloud calendar using month view so I can see the whole month at a glance.
    It used to be that when I viewed my calendar using Google Chrome, the time of each event would show next to the event name. Recently, this changed and now the month view just shows the events, not the times. This is also true for my macbook ical - month view only shows events, no times.
    Is there an option to allow the times to show when using month view? I looked in preferences and didn't see one.
    Also, as a side note, I tested in Firefox and the times DO show when using month view. I just prefer using my ical or chrome, so would love to figure out a way to fix there.
    thanks for any help!

    I was able to see some posts after I made mine and I found the answer to the macbook ical issue.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15378887#15378887
    would still love any input on the google chrome issue. If anyone knows how to show event times in chrome, I'd love to hear how!
    thanks.

  • ICal Month Viewing issues "The 3 dots of death"

    Hi,
    Im experiencing problems viewing my month view, i run my business which is holiday lets, off my ICal.
    I mainly use my month view because i can see availability and communicate this to clients when the call up to book/check availability.
    My problem is that when i have more then three (all day selected) week bookings along side each other then the dreaded "3 dots of death" appear at the top of the day box, telling me i have more info for that day to view.
    I want to know if i can just get all the info on there instead, there is blatantly enough space below as the info only takes up half the date square.
    The maximum i would need would be 6 along side each other (change over days)
    The other thing is that i already have separate calenders for my other accomodation. and i really need these ones to stay together.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Its driving me spare!
    Regards

    Potential workaround:
    I feel your anger. I don't understand how that ellipsis helps.
    If you already keep a discrete calendar, with a unique colour ID for those day-longs that you'd like to list six events, would mimicking all-day events during the same hour serve the purpose?
    They stay together if chronologically identical times (I stopped adding at 20 events and going strong) and appear the same colour if from the same calendar, but lack a solid ground without "all-day" selected. For multiple days, repeat hourly overlapping events "every day" and "end" on the date of choice, or repeat weekly if appropriate.
    I think this would look similar to what you want but you have to get used to treating a colour as an all-day cue instead of the solid ground appearance. I assume another calendar's events could appear in the middle chronologically, so create the all-day imitators during an hour that you won't likely split up, like non-work times.

  • Is it possible to change the Calendar 7.0 view to show 2 weeks instead of 1 week or month view. I find the month view is far too messy and the 1 week too short. To date I found the previous version more visibly user friendly

    I have upgraded to Mavericks and have found the Calendar 7.0 not visually user friendly. The week view is too resrictive and the month view far too messy. Is there any way of editting the view, the ability to change the colour and thickness of the grid lines would at least help. This version of Calendar seems to be a retrograde step.

    Agree.  Positively loathe the new calendar display - each day blends into the next and I can't get my information at a glance.  Looks like it's time to switch to BusyCal or Google Calendar.

  • Calendar month view dots on every day...

    I seem to have a dot in every day of every month in month view. I have seen pics of other folks who only have dots in the days where there is an event. So I am thinking there is something wrong with my sync.
    I downloaded 7.3.1 iTunes, resynced, and even restored. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

    VOILA! Solved it. I was right, it was related to recurring appointments.
    I kept going back on my calendar until I found a day that had no dot in it. Then I figured the first empty day that still showed a dot and worked backwards. I found a recurring appointment was causing the problem.
    When I opened it up, I noticed that the appointment was from Mon, Feb 5 to Sun, Feb 4. It went BACK in time. It still showed as only one day, and the All Day button was ON. I changed the TO date to Feb 5 (so both FROM and TO matched), saved the appointment, and VOILA! Fixed. However, as I scrolled forward, I noticed dots started showing up in every day in the months from that point forward, and it was still fixed from that point on backwards. It turns out EVERY BIRTHDAY (every yearly recurring appointment) had this glitch. When I fixed a birthday, it fixed all the days between it and the next birthday. When I fixed them all, my Monthly view for ALL months now shows dots on days with events, and no dots on days with no event.
    Sweet!

  • How to return the month view format on IPhone to show text of events and not dots?

    The month view in my IPhone ICal is now filled with dots to let me know I have an event as opposed to the former view where I could see text at a glance and know what I had to do on certain days.  The month view of days with dots is now worthless to me unless i can change it back to see text.  Also, you have to scroll through to see all the hours in a day.  Is this really necessary?  Who has time to enter in so much activity on their daily calendar that is reqires scrolling through the hours?  Can I make the entire day appear on one screen if I'm in day view?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can see what is similar to the List view by tapping on the magnifying glass. The former Month view with a couple of lines ot text under it no longer exists.

  • 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
