How can I darken the font and grid lines in ICal Lion

Hi,
The font and gridlines in ICal Lion are entirely too light for my eyesight. Can I somehow darken the color of these?
Thanks

Sometimes it takes me a while to remember this stuff. The issue is that these invisible folders are actually symlinks and not real folders. They behave differently. Here's something that used to work and may still:
Open Terminal in the Utilities folder:
cd /
nano .hidden
Press RETURN after each line. In the editor listing enter, one line each, home and net. CTRL+O to save the file. Now log out and log back in or restart. The files should be invisible.
Beyond this requires downloading the XTools in order to use one developer tool not included with OS X.

How can I change the fonts and layout of the blog?

I would like to change the font and font size of my blog. How can I do that so that it stays that way for each new post?

I can't seem to find a way to change the font in the main blog page in iWeb itself... So that's how iWeb blogs normally behave... They don't take the font settings you put in in the entry and they display only one image.
The first (main) Blog page is thought of being an index page and not an actual page where people read the whole post. It's just a page that shows people how many and which entries there are. Then people choose to read the entry by clicking on it.
You might think of reducing the size of the pictures and the length of the text excerpts. So that people click to read more and see the whole entry with all images.
If you don't like the idea of the index blog page and people going into the entry to read you might think of using something else than iWeb to blog...

How can I hide the "home" and "net" volumes in mountain lion

How can I limit the fonts in the Character Map (charmap) and reinitialize the state after use?

In a WPF application I have a RichTextBox in which users will be inserting text. I also must give the user the ability to insert characters. To do so I have called up charmap.exe using
Process charProcess = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
charProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCharmap;
charProcess.Start();
etc., and it works fine. There are several problems I have basically with charmap, however, not with WPF. The first is that because of the subsequent use of the user’s insertion in the RTB, I must restrict the font to “Ariel Unicode
MS.” So far all I have been able to do is instruct and warn the user not to change fonts and
change back any font change that occurs as a result of use of “Advanced view” features.
Question number one is, how can I restrict the fonts loaded into charmap to this one font? The second problem is that if another font is called up, or the “Advanced view” state of charmap is closed, or a “Group by” feature is opened, these choices will
be retained for the next user that opens charmap. How can I initialize the state of charmap for each new user with the correct font and “Advanced view” features showing. It is said,but in old posts, that reinitialization occurs for all but administrative users,
but this seems to be no longer true. I have tried permission changes in charmap’s Properties, but I can’t get the necessary reinitialization to occur even if user’s don’t have modify permission. Can one use a .ini file, or the .mui file, or make Registry changes
to accomplish my goals. There seems to be a warning in the .mui file about changing fonts, but is it cancelled? I am using Windows 7 and C#.
I have looked at other character maps but they are either too complicated for the casual user, or they have no search engine and advanced features, or they have the same problems.
I am pretty much a novice with respect to the Windows files use and WPF, so please be fairly clear, complete, and prescriptive in your answer. Also so that I and others can learn, it would be nice to have an explanation of why one does whatever you suggest.
Your help is appreciated.

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers? I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail. Changing the screen density is not a good option.
Thanks

I downloaded Tinkertool. Found the font section and increased the size of most selections. The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label. The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4. Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either. I'll keep working. Restarted all apps after changes as well.

Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

From the Safari menu bar click View > Zoom In or press Command + on the keyboard to increase the size of the page.
If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.
You can also increase the resolution on the dislplay. System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
You can also get help by posting in the Apple Support Communities > Vision forum here.

How can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the duration of the original audio clips?

This question is for Logic Express.
I have many very short audio clips that I recorded into my project.
I want to adjust the project tempo so that I can use the snap grid to make a beat out of my short audio clips. But when I change the project tempo, it automatically adjusts the lengths of my audio clips.
So how can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the original audio clips?

The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties. I just found this thread that might better explain it:

How to change fontsize in iTunes
Take an XML-Editor and open:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\TextStyles.plist"
For other languages change your country code (de, en, fr, pl ...).
Example for english: "\en.lproj\TextStyles.plist".
Backup this File !!!
To change the Text-Size, change the integer value of the following item:
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>8</integer>"
This means Text-Size 8
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>12</integer>"
This means Text-Size 12
To change the font, change the integer value of the following item:
<key>font</key>
<string>Arial</string>
This means the font changes to Arial
This also works:
<key>italic</key>
<true/>
<key>bold</key>
<true/>
<key>underline</key>
<true/>
