Change the colour of events in iCal

I need to change the colour of events/appointments in the Mac iCal. I have imported all of my Outlook calendar via google sync and all my appointments are now just one colour. I have my medical appointments coloured in orange so they stand out each week (I have many) and all my personal events a different colour, and my volunteer work a different colour so that I can see at a glance in week view what I am up to. Looking at one week with every appointment in one drab colour is not nice.
I notice that different calendars are different colours, but I dont want separate calendars as I need to sync with google to share the calendar with Android phone and iPad.
Please can you let me know how to turn this feature on. Many thanks.

Click calendars at the bottom of the page the click on the i symbol for info and then you can select the colour you'd like.

How do you change the color of events on ICal.

How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
Thanks!

Phoebe,
Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
Then choose the color from this pane:

How can I change the colour of an iCal calender on the iPhone?

I have two iCal calendars on my iPhone that sync to google. It works fine with push but both of hem has the same colour. That makes it hard to see the diference.
How can I change the colour?
I am syncing to outlook so I don't have iCal on the statonary.

I looked into this before, and at the moment there is little you can do to customize the inputrender tag, short of subclassing it and adding the functionality you require

How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out. The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal? The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)." The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default? It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful: I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound".
Any ideas, folks? Thanks.

Understand. I am in the edit mode for my contact. I see all the contact info. There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

What's a polymorphic terminal and why can't I change the colour of an LED?

Hi,
I've written a small vi to experiment with changing the
colour of an LED from the front panel by the user. (See attached.)
I've created a property node for the LED indicator and selected the 'Colors[4]' property.
I've then selected the 0th element of the array using 'Index Array' and used this as the cluster type on 'Bundle By Name' but no names appear in the elements.
When I then try to wire a colour box to the input of Bundle By Name I get a broken wire and the message: "This wire connects to a polymorphic terminal that cannot accept this data type".
And yet when I hold the mouse over the wire from the output of index array so it's just looking at one element of the colors[4] array in the help window I'm told it's a cluster made up of two U32's. Individually these are the same data type as the output from the colour box.
What's a polymorphic data type and what's the correct way to wire from the colour selection box to the Colors[4] property of the LED so the colour can be changed?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
A couple of comments.
As CC said, you need to use the plain bundle node.
If you want to change the "ON" color, you need element 1, not zero.
Property operations should only be done exacly once whenever something changes, not 10000 times/second. Use an event structure.
See attached (LabVIEW 7.0). Modify as needed.

Why my calender changes the colour?

Hi!
I'm using iCal on my iPhone 5 and my iPad 3. Since today iCal started to change the colour of one of my eight calendars. Everytime I change the colour on my iPhone, my iPad or at iCloud, iCal undos it back. Why does this occur?
Best regards
Alex

My calendar is doing the same thing, except that it's doing it on my Macbook Pro. Beginning Monday morning, the colors for my Work and Home calendars shared using iCloud, changed on their own and when I changed them back to green and yellow, respectively, iCloud changed them again. This problem also caused Daylite 4.3 to crash, which then caused Marketcircle to have to put out a patch the same day (Monday). Why did Apple find it necessary to do this? Seems I can either share my calendar with my iPhone and iPad and accept the ugly colors Apple chose, or I can not share my calendars and choose my own colors. Not really a solution.

Change the colour of the outer line of a circle

Hello everyone,
I drew up a circle with no fill inside, to show where the location of my highway storm culvert will be.
I changed the thickness of the outer line of my circle shape by creating a stroke effect at layer → blending options → stroke; then I changed the thickness of the line by right clicking in stroke at the layers panel and then choosing "scale effect."
But the problem I have is that the outer line is gray, and I want it to be black.
The outer line was originally red though so I changed my image → mode to grayscale, because I couldn't find a way to change the colour while keeping my image in RGB colour. So I've managed to make the outer line gray by changing the image mode but I still can't change the colour of the outer line to black.
I'm sure there must be other ways of changing the outer line colour without having to change the image mode, but I'm clueless.
Here is my drawing:
The text next to the circle says «Obra de desagüe». That's spanish for "drainage construction site."
You see, I can't change the colour because I have no clue at where the "change colour option" is. I tried going to layer → layer properties, but in there there's only 7 colours to choose from. I chose a random colour, just to see what happens and what truly changed colour was the layer, within the layers panel; not the shape contained within the layer.
So I'm lost here, any help please?
Unfortunately I'm still not an expert in Photoshop just yet.
Thank you for reading my post.

Set shape layer opacity 100% Fill 0% to make fill transparent or add an empty layer make a circular selection stroke it black.

Best way to draw an asset if I want to change the colour of it?

If I draw something manually, can I still change the colour by actionscript?
I want to draw a cat, and the cat colour depends on the the user choice in the previous 'screen'. How should I go about this?
Thanks.

Yes, there are a couple ways. You can use the ColorTransform class. Or you can use one of the Tweening engines - it's really easy to tint objects using TweenLite. You can even test in the demo at http://blog.greensock.com/tweenlite/
Scroll down a bit to the demo... pick a color in the tint box and hit Tween.

Hi,
What do you mean by travel? Is that when it wont change all settings across the board? e.g another staff member with adobe acrobat wont have the same settings as i do?
I am the only one creating the forms and using any adobe settings anyway so i guess it wont really matter that they dont have the same settings as i do but its not hard to change them on all pc's anyway.
Thanks though.

Is it possible to change the colour of the bars in a chart on the iPad?

I'm using keynote for iOS and I'm trying to pick the bar colour for my charts. I understand that the default settings will change the colour for each new series but I have a few charts all with a single series and I would like to change the colours along the way. Below is an image from my presentation, basically I'm looking for guidance on how to make the blue bars into red bars.

In ios7 is there a way to change the colour of a sent text?

Since upgrading to ios7 & on my iphone 5 the sent text messages in a conversation (my messages) are white on green and I don't find it that easy to read when I want to look back over a conversation. I tried making it bold in the Accessibility area of settings but that it no better. Inverting colours gives me a horrible purple. \does any one know if there is anyway I can make the text other than white - black on green would be fine.

Hello again, Helen,
While this doesn't actually change the colour of the mouse pointer, Mouse Locator does make it very easy to spot, even on a large display.
And it's freeware into the bargain!
