Is it possible to let iCal change the color or other appearance of an event when switching 'show as' from "busy" to free""?

As the header states, I am looking for a way to incorporate both "busy" and "free" events in 1 calendar. But I would like to be able to see the difference between events without having to maintain another "pencil" calendar.
Would be great to have them be greyed out or get another color.

Thanks, tst.  I wasn't holding my breath on this one.
Hmm...  I hadn't thought of XControls!  I'd rather not go that route, though, in the interest of keeping the error handler code as light as possible.  (In the daemon itself I don't mind more complexity)  If I did that, the cure might be more expensive than the problem it solves.

Load and unload it explicitly at the start and end of the app. Great if you have a structured app, but not so much if you want something more free form.
Unload it as soon as it's done doing its work (or after a timeout from the last action it took).
Sadly, this app is rather "free form".  It has a lot of multi-threaded, asynchronous operations since I'm performing parallel TCP communication to several hosts. Each dynamically called VI calls the error handler.
Option 2 might be a decent idea, though.  If I went with that, I'd just have to tweak the architecture accordingly.  It may well be the most feasible solution.
Thanks for the quick reply!

  • Why is iCal changing the color of my calendars to purple even after trying to change it back to my original color?

    iCal is changing the color of my calendars to purple on all my devices even after trying to change it back to the original color. Tried turning them off, same thing.

    I, too, had this problem.  This is how I fixed it:
    Select the calendar that changes color and export the calendar to desktop.
    Delete the calendar from ical.
    Create new calendar in Ical and name it to your specifications
    Go to desk top and choose the calendar you moved and choose to open with Ical.  This should import it back to ical.
    Go into settings in ical and choose that calendar as your default calendar.
    It sounds complicated but is actually easy to do. I hope this helps.

  • Flex 4:  Change the color (or other properties) of the Control Bar

    Can the control bar color and other properties be changed?
    Thank you.

    look for
    <!-- layer 2: control bar fill -->
                        <s:Rect left="1" right="1" top="2" bottom="1">
                            <s:fill>
                                <s:LinearGradient rotation="90">
                                    <s:GradientEntry color="0x000000" />
                                    <s:GradientEntry color="0x005500" />
                                </s:LinearGradient>
                            </s:fill>
                        </s:Rect>
    in the style generated ..you can change the fill to any of the types like solidColor, all gradients, in addition, you can add stroke element to this rect, thats all I know, if you know any other properties that can be added here, you can let me know.

  • Is there a way to change the color of a linked eps or ai file in InDesign?

    I have a questionaire form that I'm placing in several documents. I need it to be exactly the same in all instances except that it occurs in 4/c on some docs and 1/c (black) on others.
    It'd be best to have all the Indesign files link to the same eps (or ai, or eps) file so that I know any change to the text of the linked questionaire will be reflected on all of the InDesign docs. But I don't think InDesign will let me change the color of the text and other filled or stoked elements of eps, ai, or pdf files.
    I can change a these in a grayscale tif file. But rasterising the questionaire at a high dpi somewhat defeats the live update feature I'm trying to add here (and bloats my file size).
    Could the fact that I can't change the document color mode to grayscale in AI be a factor here?
    Thank you for your time!

    The only way I can think of is to use a Spot Colour in Illustrator.
    You can then place that into InDesign and the Spot Colour should show up in the Swatches Panel.
    In InDesign - create a New Swatch and have this be a Spot colour too.
    Using the Swatches Panel flyout menu (top right) you can go Ink Manager...
    From here you can Map the colour used in Illustrator to the colour you have creaeted in InDesign.
    This will replace the colour in InDesign only - and results may vary on output.
    You will need to use View>Overprint Preview to view the results.
    Hope that helps.

  • Chart: Changing the color of a bar

    Hello Experts,
    We would like to change the color of a particular bar in the chart. Can someone share a code snippet to achieve the same? If we use color-pallete aggregation then color change is getting reflected to all the bars.
    We are using makit library, please note that we had tried the same with viz library also.
    Snippet from XML view:
    <ma:Chart id="idChart1" height="50%" width="100%" type="Column"
      rows="{/}" showRangeSelector="true"
      showTableView="false" showTotalValue="false">
      <ma:category>
      <ma:Category column="type" displayName="Product" />

    Hello
    I am having trouble changing the color of a line chart. I can change colors in bar charts, but it does not let me change the colors for the same data set in a line chart format.
    Do you mean that you want to have different parts of the same line to appear in different colors?
    When I move the chart to Pages it won't let me put the chart legend actually in the chart (which I need based on the APA guidelines).
    Print the Chart to PDF and import the PDF to Pages, with the Legend wherever you want it.
    Finally - any thoughts on how to adjust the X axis so that the first data point doesn't start right on the Y axis?
    Set the Axis Minimum to some other value.

  • How can I change the color of a object inside a symbol?

    Hello!
    I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
    The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
    I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
    I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
    sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
    Anyone knows how to make that work?
    I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?

    Thanks a lot,

  • Can you change the color of selected text in word?

    I use Word 2010, and when I select text it is always blue, is there a way to change the color?

    I use Word 2010, and when I select text it is always blue, is there a way to change the color?
    My earlier posting was an error.
    I apologize.
    You seem to be saying that the default colour for text is blue.
    You need to change:-
    Normal.dotm
     - to change the default colour of text.
    In order to change the default colour of text take the following steps (that were tested on Windows 7 and Office 2007 - the process should be
    similar, if not identical, for yourself):-
    1. Open a new blank document (this should
    have the default text as blue).
    Save that document with a new name for example:-
    c:\word\testing_aug_25_2014_2
    2. In the above document:-
    Insert tab
    Text group
    Click on the drop down arrow to the lower right of:-
    Quick Parts
     - then click on:-
    Field . . .
    The:-
    Field
     - window should open.
    3. In the:-
    Field
     - window in the field called:-
    Field names:
     - scroll down to:-
    Template
     - and click on that option so that it's highlighted in blue.
    Now, towards the top right hand corner of the same window, click in the box called:-
    Add path to file name
     - so that it has a tick (check mark) in that box.
    Click:-
    OK
    The file name of the template should now be inserted into your document.
    On my machine this was:-
    C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
    The above path might be different for you.
    4. I saved my document at this point.
    5. Now open the file called:-
    C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
    A document should open on your screen (still with blue text) and with:-
    Normal.dotm
    - in the middle of the Title Bar at the top of the screen.
    Highlight all of the text in the document so that it's (for example) black.
    Save the file.
    6. Close all open documents in WORD and
    close WORD itself.
    7. Now open a new document and its default
    text should be set to the colour that you applied at step 5. above (I used black at that point).
    Does that resolve your problem?

    How do you change the color of a calendar entry?

    Hi Skaytn,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you referring to the Calendar app on your computer, or do you have an iCloud account?  The articles below will explain how to change calendar names and colors.  Whatever calendar you place an entry in will determine what it's color will be.
    Mac Basics: Calendar keeps your appointments

    By default, OS X includes two calendars in the Calendar app – Work and Home. If  you want to create a new calendar, choose New Calendar from the File menu. Type a name for your calendar in the text field. For example, if you have kids, you might want to create a separate calendar for each one to track their schedules. You can see and control how your calendars appear by clicking the Calendars button.
    To change the color or name of a calendar, select it from the calendars list, then choose Edit > Get Info. To remove a calendar and all of its events, right-click or Control-click the calendar's name,  then select Delete from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • Can't change the color of my hyperlinks

    I know this is probably a dumb question with an easy answer, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is. I am trying to change the color of my hyperlinks which default to white. I have tried clicking on the text inspector both with the hyperlink selected and without. I can't find any place where it allows me to change the color of hyperlinks. Any suggestions to a seemingly easy problem?

    select the hyperlink and go to the hyperlink button in the inspector (circular arrow), and both check the box 'enable as a hyperlink', choose what to link to, then click the Format tab and change the colors.

  • Change the color/skin of slider Thumb

    Thanks guys for all your previous help..
    I want to change the color of the thumb of the slider but not
    able to do it. can anybosy help me out

    Hi Matt,
    I have a similar requirement, except:
    1. There are multiple thumbs, each of a different color
    2. The colors need to be dynamically adjustable from a colorPicker control
    This is for an mx hslider running in a Spark (Flex 4) app.
    I tried dynamically setting a sliderThumb color by extending the sliderThumb class with a color attribute. It works when I change the color by clicking a button, but not when I try setting the color in Actionscript when the component initially loads...I am probably calling the changeColor() function from the wrong event...which event should I use to change a sliderThumb style upon initial load?
    Thanks!!!

  • HT2513 Is it possible to change the color scheme of a Microsoft Exchange calendar in iCal?

    My Exchange account is running 2007 version software.  I tried Control+Click and Go To Info (like I do for my iCloud calendars), but the Info menu does not pop up.  Any ideas why?

    Make a Shape > Inspector > Graphic > Tinted Image Fill > Scale to fit > browse to image > click on the color patch to change the color to what you want
    or
    Drag in an image > overlay it with a Shape > select the color for the shape and change its Opacity
    Shapes may have Gradient and Advanced Gradient (multiple colors) fills both linear and radial. Both are in the Graphic Inspector as is Opacity.
