Changing colors for days in month view

My work schedule fluctuates so that I don't work the same days every week during a month. Is there a way I can change the color of some of the days in month view so that I can quickly see my work days in ical?

Welcome to the discussions, azstoneconsulting.
In iCal colours are tied to specific calendars, so make a vacation calendar and a sick calendar (you forecast your sickness? Cool) and an out of office calendar and set the colours to whatever colour suits. Then when you are going to be in London select the out of office calendar and set it to last the four days. It will show as a coloured bar across those days in month view.

Color in days in month view?

Hi,
Is there any way to color in specific days in month view in iCal. Like, for example, instead of appearing in their default white, I would like Monday's and Wednesday's to appear in Green. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Lisa,
Here are some of the iCal event creation rules which may help you:
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.

Can I show a color bar instead of a color bullet in iCal Monthly view for all my events in all calendars?

In the Monthly view of iCal the only events that show a color bar in the event is the Birthday Calendar. All other events in all my other calendars only show a color bullet next to the event (unless I click on that event which then shows as a color bar). I would like to know if it is possible for all the calendar events to have a color bar in the monthly view instead of just that tiny color bullet.

Greetings Judith,
Before making any attempts at deleting calendar data, backup what you have just in case:
Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
iCal has an automated function located in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed. By typing in a value for days you can tell iCal to delete all events before that time frame.
Example:
Today is 4-16-2012.
If I wanted to delete all events prior to 1 year ago (4-16-2011) I would type in "365" for the number of days.
Once you type in the number of days you want kept in iCal, close the preferences and then quit iCal.
Re-open iCal and check to see if the events are gone. If not you may want to leave it open for several minutes and then quit again.
Once the events are removed go back to iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed and make sure the check mark is removed to prevent future deletion.
Hope that helps.

Changing the default event time to all-day in Month View?

I updated to Mavericks today, and when I went to add an event to my Calendar, I discovered that all-day was not the default time. In Mountain Lion, when going to add an event in Month View, it was automatically set to all-day, which is perfect because all of my events are all-day events. Now, it's being set to 9:00 to 10:00, and I have to check the box to make it all-day. I know that this isn't much work, but when I'm adding dozens of events it starts to get a little annoying.
Calendar 7.0, OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

npatelaz,
I don't think that it is possible, even using Terminal. If you want to change your workflow, "all day" events can easily be created in the Day/Week view, but as you stated the Month view poses a problem.
Calendar Help says:
To make:
An event that lasts all day:
In Day or Week view, double-click in the “All-day” section at the top of the calendar.
An existing event last all day:
In Day, Week, or Month view, double-click the event, click the date, then select “All-day.”
A multiday event:
In Week view, drag from the start time to the end time. You can drag across multiple days.In Day or Month view, create an event. Then, enter the start and end dates and times.
An all-day event into a multiday event:
In Week view, drag the all-day event across multiple days.

Highlighting multiple days in Month View?

Hello everyone & Happy Friday All !!!
I'm new to this forum, and VERY new to using ical -
Here's my question:
In my old method of using a calendar to do my schedule on my old PC -
I'd make a spreadsheet in MS Excel that would show me monthly views that I could highlight days,
weeks or entire months..... It's crude in comparison to ical, yet it IS effective for my needs......
I am used to highlighting either a single day or a string of days in my "month" view,
so... for example - let's say that Monday thru Thursday of next week I am going to be "out of the office in London - UK" -
I would simply highlight the four days of next week - and instead of leaving those cells "white"
like every other day in the month - I'd change those four cell's colored "fill" option from white to
bright yellow - (or any other color that signifies a specific action or function - like "green" for vacation days, or "blue" for a sick day or surgery, etc....
This way - that at a glance (literally) - I can tell that I'm "out of the office" on those days next week that are colored other than "white"..... NOTE: the ENTIRE CELL - Not Just the Day Title is colored......
(I wish I could insert a visual example of what I am trying to describe here...)
Is there a way of doing this same kind of function in ical - so that I can have an "at a glance" or
"heads up display" that I can see quickly and know I'm committed on those days next week - or
any week or group of days for that matter?
This would help me tremendously of there is a way of doing this...... Otherwise - I'll be STUCK
in the 90's using my improvised Excel Spreadsheet Calendar.....
Thanks in advance for your help

TZ of Day/Week/Month View is US/Pacific - Info Box & System TZ US/Eastern

Just noticed this - don't think its been happening for long - probably a couple of days at the worst.
When I create a New Event, the Time Zone is automatically incorrectly set to US/Pacific. I change it to Eastern (via Info Box) and it displays in the Info Box as Eastern, but the Daily/Weekly/Monthly view seems to remain at US/Pacific. (System prefs set to Eastern TZ).
In addition ALL my events display in Day/Week/Month view as US/Pacific TZ, even tho Info Box TZ (and system TZ) is US/Eastern.
For Example: Info box says event starts at 5PM goes to 9PM, Time Zone is US/Eastern. Calendar Display in Day, Week or Month shows event from 2PM to 6PM.
This has affected every one of my events.
I am running OSX 10.4.9,build 8P135 iCal Version 2.0.5 (1069)
iCal Support for Time Zones turned On.
Date/Time System Preferences appear to be OK
System Time (measured by Menu Clock and verified by save time on a file) is OK - (Am writing this at about 2:40PM EST, Sunday 6/3/2007.

It was US/Pacific -
I just changed it to US/Eastern and everything seems to work correctly now. I never even noticed that setting before - I guess I may have reset it by accident?
I see you're from Bristol, UK. A friend told me a few hours ago that he has to make a business trip there sometime this summer and was thinking about bringing his family (from Boston, USA). We were not too clear on English geography tho - is Bristol a decent family vacation destination?

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.

ICalendar: How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on?

The calendar in Mavericks is so frustrating compared to SL. How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on? There is no highlight or box or anything. Am I missing something? Also I suppose its not possible to just see 1 month anymore like it use to be instead of seeing 6 weeks. Thanks. Sure wish Apple would let us keep our Macs the way WE like it with a classic setting everytime they add something that they think is better. Like those awesome grey icons all over the place instead of color.

The day with the red line on top is today

Calendar in List view different from Day and Month view

When I look at my Calendar in 'List' view all of the Birthdays and Events are in the wrong date but in 'Day' and 'Month' view they are correct.
Has anybody found a fix for this yet? I have looked at similar discussions but they are all a couple of years old and none seem to have found the solution

It looks like I have found a solution - it is to do with the birthday dates - if you delete the year of any pre-1932 birthdays it solves the problem!

How to scroll within a day in month view?

Busycal can scroll within a day in month view (eg. too many events in a day that requires you to open the day view to see all the events). Can this be done in iCal?

I found some javascript code that solves this problem. Credit
for the code has to go to the person who wrote the excellent
article at the following link:
http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/javascript-tutorial-the-scroll-wheel
If you read this article the code below should make sense.
From this article i used the hookEvent and cancelEvent
functions. In my particular case I embed the SWF object inside a
JSP page using some javascript code. After the SWF is loaded i
added the following line of code:
hookEvent('my_swf_id', 'mousewheel', handleMouseWheel);
where handleMouseWheel is defined as follows:
function handleMouseWheel(e)
if (document.getElementById("my_swf_id"))
document.getElementById("my_swf_id").focus();
return cancelEvent(e); // This is the key to the solution...
When the mouse is over the datagrid in the SWF i can use the
mouse wheel to scroll its contents without the main browser window
scrolling at the same time.
Thanks to all who took time to post their ideas, it was
appreciated.

Can i change colors for events in the calendar?

Can I change colors for different events in Calendars on Ipad 2?

Philly - I always respect your opinion and what you have to say but please hear me out.

I see one iCal window and that makes me conclude that I have one calendar with multiple event types.
You understand how the app works and how to create calendars. As I pointed out - I explained to one user that you have to tap the Calendar button in the upper left corner and then select the calendars that you want to view. In fact, if you have accidentally tapped Hide All Calendars - you see no events.
I totally understand what you are saying and I rarely take an argumentative approach in this forum, but what I am trying to point out to the OP is that you cannot create different colors for "events" in one single calendar.
For instance, if you have one calendar called "Home" and that is the one calendar that you use - if Billy has a soccer game at 6:00 PM, Jessica has band practice at 7:00 PM and you have a bridge club meeting (I'm stuck for another idea at the moment ) at 7:30 PM - and you want all of these "Events" to appear in different colors within the same calendar - it cannot be done.
Sometimes I think this is what users want to do - differentiate the different "Events" within a single calendar - and that cannot be done - at least AFAIK.
I didn't mean to cause confusion nor was I trying to complicate things. I just thought that I was giving a complete answer as to how the feature works.
After all - I could have just used the "please get the iPAD user guide" line. I just love that response.

Multiday event should span days in month view

Hi all,
I have an event that spans multiple days (begin is Dec 3 @ 12 AM, end is Dec 6 @ 12 AM), but it only appears in one day on iCal's month view. In week view, the event spans all three days.
How can I ensure that an event that spans days +actually visually+ spans the days in month view?
Thanks,
Matthew

Is there not any other way. I to have events that are not actually whole day events but that are spanning mulitple days.

Change color for

I need to make links from keywords in PDF to files which is stored on harddisk.
As for now I've done following
1. Searched PDDoc with WordFinder for keyword
2. Created link annotations from keyword quads
3. Make filespecification and set it as launch action for all link annotations
Now I need to change color for recognized keyword below link annotation. Could anybody help me with any hint?
Thanks in advance.

Look at the PDEdit APIs - that's what handles content.

Initially, a control has no caption. It's not just that the caption string is empty and the caption not visible, but the caption object does not exist.
I think this should probably be changed in future versions, because even if each control had a caption, it would still be a negligible small part of the VI. The current behavior made sense many years ago where HD and memory space was very precious. Not any more!
This issue comes up often enough that it warrants addressing the root of the problem.
It is hard to convince the casual that the caption does not exist if he can simply do a "show caption" at edit time and it will show in all glory, even with the default set to the current label. It is confusing!
There is even an idea about this that seems worth supporting (also read the link in the discussion).
What do you think?
