Q: How do I hide time stamp in iCAL month view for Mavericks 10.9?

I want to hide the time in Month View like I could before in 10.8.  Please help!  Calendar is too cluttered in month view for me to read.  In 10.8 you could select or deselect "Show time in month view".  Is there a way to do this in Maveriks 10.9?

    You are right that there is no longer an easy option for the average user to change this. However, when you shrink the window down, the time stamp automatically disappears. I had the opposite problem on my small laptop screen, until I made the window bigger and the time appeared. I still wish is was a user controllable option, though.

    Yes, I noticed if you shrink the window, the time stamp disappears and you just see one (short) line of text.

     

    What I would like to see is two lines of text, rather than the first line show the appointment time.  Given the fact that the vertical location of the appointment already shows the time information, the redundancy is a waste of useful space.

    There is an effective, though tedious solution. If you click on each event and make it "all day" rather than at a specific time, then it will no longer have a time to display. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your reply, however you only get a 1 liner if you show it as all day.  I may as well leave it as a 1 liner in the time frame area, because then the time doesnt show either.  What I want, is a solution to have multiple lines without a time stamp.

    I agree. I also print Monthly Calendars and it takes up way too much space. I think they should add the hide feature to the print options as well.

    I have this same issue! Shrinking the window defeats the purpose of being able to see the entire text of the appointment (with beginning and ending times that I manually prefer to input).

    Yes - PLEASE OFFER A BUTTON FOR THIS FUNCTION!

     

    I've used iCal for years and this is a big enough snaffu that I may have to switch all of my workflow over to something else. I can't read anything in my Month view anymore as it's half taken up by redundant gray text start times! So frustrating to have functionality actually taken away with new updates. Please please please put it back??

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

     

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
