Changing color of calendar

The ical help says to click the info button at the right bottom corner of the ical window to change color of calendar but there is no info button. Nor is there an option to change color in any of the ical windows ie file, edit, etc. Any suggestions?

Mudplay,
Select a calender on the left side of your iCal window, control click it to get the contextual menu & select "Get Info", click on the color sample dropdown to the right of the name & drag it down to "Other". From there, select any color you want & control its shade or value with the slider bar.
Hope this helps.

  • How to change colors in calendars in ios7

    I find I can change colors on the Exchange account (gmail) but not the regular gmail account. I do not use iCloud for cals.
    In exchange there is an info button (i with a circle around it), this is where colors can be chosen at will.
    In gmail there is no way to make this choice.
    A problem, since I have several daylong events in a dark color that are obscuring, viz masking, hour long appointments due to the color schemes that cannot apparently be changed.
    is this true?
    Thx
    PS: I've read that exchange has been deprecated as an account type and that "Gmail" is the preferred option for google calendars, etc. Is that true? Will Gmail accounts push notifications the way Exchange did?

    Precisely the point.
    Exchange (run through native Apple Cal.) gives these options.
    Gmail (ditto) doesn't.
    My understanding is that now the preference is to use Gmail over Exchange, which is no longer supported by google.
    I've experienced problems syncing with Exchange but not with Gmail (some calendars do others don't sync in E.)—maybe for this reason, I don't know. I currently combine where needed and possible so that I have the color option, which to me is worth the slight inconvenience of running two different Gmail calendars at the same time.
    It sounds like you don't use either just iCloud for syncing calendars, so I may open another thread to ask about this situation. thanks.

  • Change color of calendar

    With the new iCal, I can't find where I can change the color of my calendars. I have two that are green and I need to be able to distinguish between the two.

    Elzbeth,
    Click on the "Calendars" button, click on a calendar, choose Edit>Get Info, and you should see a color palette choice in the Info window.

  • Why does the color on my calendar keeps changing colors on its own

    I have several color coded calendars for each family members.  My daugther's calendar all of a sudden changed from green to blue (which is my son's) by itself.  I changed it back to green and it automatically changed back to blue again.   This happened once before a while back and after I keep changing back the color, it corrected itself eventually.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it permanently?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Same problem on top of regularly dropping WIFI when all of my other devices have no problem.
    Owned this laptop since FEB 2014. My worst experience with a laptop to date. Wish I'd bought ASUS now which I also considered before buying.Another family member bought ASUS & no issues.

  • How do you change color of an event in a calendar in ical

    how do I change the color of an EVENTt in ical

    boivinr wrote:
    PLEASE APPLE ADD COLOR TAGGING TO EVENTS!!!
    Um, color tagging events has always been a feature of iCal. Go into iCal. In the upper left-hand corner it says "Calendars." Go under "File" and create a new Calendar--iCal will give it a color, but you can change that. If you do this in iCloud, you simply pick "edit" and click on the color, and you've a huge range of choices as to what color you want it to be.
    So, now you've got calendars--the family events calendar (named "Family") the "Days Off" calendar and the "Appointments" calendar...each with their own color. You can see them all when you click on "calendars" there on the left-hand side. And, in your case, can create calendars for each person at your work to know when they'll be on or off work. "John's calendar" and "Susan's calendar."
    You create an event, and among the choices you have (date, time, alert, notes) is one that says: "Calendar." It will show the default calendar with it's color, but offer you up and down arrows to pick a different calendar (you can change the default calendar, by the way, under preferences). You use those arrows and pick "John" calendar and the "event" of John being on-shift from 10pm-10am on December 12th appears on the calendar in orange. Create an event and give it the "Susan Off" calendar and her time off will appear in green. Give several events the "appointment" calendar and they'll all be blue (or whatever colors you've picked for these things).
    Yes?
    Now whether you can sync your iCal to Google and match up the colors is a whole other story. But you can--and have for as long as I can remember---color code your iCal events. 

  • Manually change color of Exchange calendar in iCal?

    Good evening. Got kind of an odd problem...and not really sure when it became an issue, although I think it happened after I upgraded to Lion. But for whatever reason I cannot get to the 'Get Info' part of one of my calendars that is an Exchange calendar. I can right-click on all of my iCloud calendars and get to the get info section in order to change colors, sharing, etc, but when I click the get info option on my Exchange calendar, nothing happens.
    Not sure when this became the case, because I know I used to be able to change the color.
    Was wondering if maybe there was a preference file that I could manually edit in order to change the color, or if someone else has run into this and found a solution.
    Thanks a bunch.

    Hi guys,
    "googling" I found this applescript:
    tell application "iCal"
              set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
    end tell
    Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

  • How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

    How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

    When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"?  If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
    I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad.  I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors.  Those appear on my iPad.  I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad.  Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

  • How to change colors for record working time calendar

    Hi,
    I would like to change the colors in the calendar displayed in record working time based on some conditions.
    How do i do that is there any BADI associated with that
    Thanks
    Bala Duvvuri

    Hi Bala ,
    Yes its possible to change that .
    You need to implement BADI for this ..
    BADI name : "PT_ABS_REQ"
    In the BADI "PT_ABS_REQ"   interface "IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ" you can find the method
    "SET_CALENDAR_COLOR" in that you can set the colure for the Absent type ......
    Adjust Colors of Calendar and Team Calendar
    Functionality
    You can use this method to change the colors in the team calendar.
    In the standard system, the different statuses for requests have different colors. You can use this method to differentiate the colors of requests depending on the following aspects:
    Status of requests (status)
    Action that an employee has executed: new request, delete, change (UIA operation)
    Subtype of absence (SUBTY)
    Full-day or partial-day absence (BEGMT, where BEGMT = 0 signifies a full-day absence)
    Application mode ( mode). You specify the application mode in the Select Employees for the Team Calendar IMG activity.
    Color Display of Status of Leave Requests(COLORS_ACTIVE). You specify this status in the Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values IMG activity.
    Available Colors
    You have a choice of 16 colors. The 16 colors are hard coded, that is, you cannot change them or add other ones.
    The available colors are stored with their RGB value as constants of the CL_PT_REQ_CONST class. Use these constants if you want to change the colors.
    Notes
    If you change the colors in the team calendar, you should also adapt the legend accordingly. You can use the Adjust Legend for Calendar and Team Calendar method to do so.
    Hope this work!!!

  • Change colors in the calendar

    I saw that there is the possibility to change color to present a variety of calendars.
    My webcal in particular should be on existing services WEBCAL, eg, the lunar calendar.
    I change color, but every time my iPad or iPhone sync, returns the default color!
    What can I do?

    Yep, I just noticed this behavious on my iPhone 4 as well. Built-in calendars ("On My iPhone") stay locked in their colours, but subscribed calendars keep changing theirs. It's quite annoying.

  • How to change color of Exchange calendar on iPhone?

    I have an Exchange calendar (and a few delegate calendars) on iCal in 10.6. My main calendar is on my iPhone as well, but I can't seem to choose the color, and I can't stand the red that seems to be the default (it's actually not so bad on the iPhone, but I want it the same color as on my Mac and I don't want lots of red all over iCal. I know how to change the calendar color in iCal, just not on iPhone (for an Exchange calendar, that is. Non-Exchange calendars seem to follow whatever colors are set in iCal.)
    Thanks for whatever folks can tell me!
    -David

    This seems to be an ongoing issue as I have the same issue with my itouch. From this thread it seems the newer updates now automatically lock your gmail calendar to whatever color you chose from your PC. Change the color on your PC calendar and the color on your mobile device will match it. Would love to figure out a way to change the color on my itouch to anything I want, but it is now greyed out under the options to change the color.

  • Calendar Appointments Unexpectedly Changing Color

    In our office we are using Outlook 2010 (v14.0.7116.5000) with Exchange accounts on Exchange Server 2010 (v14.02.0387.000), and we share calendars between staff members.  We have specifically assigned category colors for certain appointments. 
    We have one shared calendar where appointments will randomly change color.  The appointments are always red on this calendar when viewed from the owner's account.  But when other staff members view this shared calendar, the appointments will sometimes
    turn yellow (even though the category still says red.)  This issue seems to appear at random, surfacing for a few days and then returning to normal.  The color changing only affects certain users at any one time, as the appointments will appear yellow
    for certain staff and then red for others.  And this issue is isolated to only one shared calendar; we have no issues with the 30+ other shared calendars.  Any ideas what could be going only?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    -Anthony

    Hi Anthony,
    There is no feature in Exchange side to manage calendar view in Outlook. Since the issue only happens to one specific shared calendar and specific users, I suggest we can ask a question in
    Outlook form
    for further troubleshooting.
    Personal suggestion, please start the specific users' Outlook in safe mode to have a try.

  • Changing color code in a group calendar mode by a workflow

    I have team calendar which i have used for leave approval.
    I am using weekgroup of the calendar view.
    I have applied the workflow for pending and approval for each leave to line manager.
    I have used a field which i am using for finding out whether or not it is approved.
    Now depending on that the colour code should change in the group calendar view. Is it possible

    Hi,
    As I understand, you want to change the color in the calendar based on the field value by workflow.
    Workflow cannot change the color in the calendar.
    As a workaround, you can add custom code in the content edit web part to achieve it. If the value of the field equals a certain value, you can change the color.

  • Why are my calendars changing colors?

    This has been happening occasionally over the past 6 months: the various calendars I have created in Calendar suddenly change colors from what I set. I can go in and reset them, but the reset doesn't stick; the next time I open Calendar, the calendar events have changed to bizarre colors again. Then in a week or two, as suddenly as it started, the color changes stop and all is normal again.
    This does NOT affect my iCloud-synced iPhone or iPad calendars - their colors are what I originally intended. I am running the latest version of Mountain Lion, 10.8.5.

    I just had the same problem.  I went to the iCloud to change the colors back, but they would automatically change back.
    Here's what I did:
    1.  Take your calendars offline in iCal
    2.  Export the calendars that change color to the desktop
    3.  Delete the calendars from both the iCloud and iCal
    4.  Create new calenders in iCal making them the color you want
    5.  Import the calendars from the desktop int your new calenders
    6.  Put your Calendars back online to sync with iCloud
    Good luck!

  • Icloud Calendar changes color

    On my iPhone 4S (6.1.3) subscribed calendars change color back to owners preset color. Macbook and browsers work properly.
    I can change the color to my favortite, but few seconds later it changes back. Rebooting the iPhone, deleting third party calenders didn't help.
    Any solutions?
    Have a nice day, amo

    My apologies.  I should have added that I had read and followed instructions on all 3 of the troubleshooting pages (Lion, iCloud, and iOS).  I always try to solve the problem before I write.
    I fiddled with it more today and at the moment it seems to be working.  It appears that I have to go into Calendar on the iPhone to make any changes that will keep.  That is a bit of a drag since I actually use WeekCal on my phone.  So later today I will probably remove and reinstall the app.
    With that being the case I think I know what might have started this cascade of problems, but would take too long to write here.  I will continue to mess with it and probably be able to get it working.  I think I need to turn off icloud and erase the calendars from my iPhone so it sees the Mac as the main source of the calendars again.
    Thanks anyway for your suggestions.
