Mac OS Lion: Hate the new look of iCal in Lion?

Posted by admin on August 8th, 2011

You’re not alone. But someone did more than just complain, they actually did something about it. Over at macnix.blogspot.com, they created new images files to go inside iCal.app and AddressBook.app to give them an aluminium look like previous versions of OS X. And best of all, they gave the step-by-step on how to change it:

This is a simplified version of my previous post which uses a package installer to apply the skins automatically without you having to manually modify the iCal.app and Address Book.app files.  The original manual process is still available for those that prefer to see whats actually being modified, but both methods effectively do exactly the same thing.

Click here to go to the manual installation instructions.

For the simplified installer based method, continue reading…

DMG files for Automatic Installation (Last updated 30/07/11)
Address Book Skin – 10.7_Address_Book_Skin_Installer.dmg
iCal Skin – 10.7_iCal_Skin_Installer.dmg

These skins are provided free of charge but please make a donation if you use them regularly 🙂

Nice job to macnix.blogspot.com for doing something about it—a great solution for those who aren’t thrilled about the new look of iCal in Mac OS X Lion. Are you fan? If not, will you be changing based on this solution?
