How do you turn off the leather look in iCal and Address Book?
You can't.
Maybe you can but it isn't supported by Apple. Search google for silver iCal and you'll find two patch files, one for iCal and one for AddressBook. However, I have no idea what these hacks will do when Apple updates Lion to 10.7.1 - will these patches just be overwritten or will they cause trouble? Use at your own risk.
I agree the leather look is lame.
Only thing I don't like. Totally out of character and ugly. Leather is hideous!
I agree. I was surprised to see something so out of character and to not have the option to remove it or have other skinning options.
Leather? Tsk...tsk! I have GOLD!
Very garish, very tacky.
AB looks like a toy, "My First AddressBook".
I'm looking for the "My Little Pony" theme!
On one hand they make Mail look stark, like the interior of a Porsche 911, gray, gray, gray, (boring) and on the other hand they make iCal look like some 3rd party creation where they paid a graphic designer 250.00 to come up with a cool look. Cheesy!
Probably designed by some unemployed Windows XP graphic 'artist.'
As to Address Book. Why complicate something that is already working just fine.
oh, now I get it. The address book and calendar are a leather set! What a concept, they are not computer apps at all but fake leather sets to put in my briefcase and carry off to work. I can't wait until they turn the Finder into a real Desktop so that I can put a coffee stain on it (graphically of course). How come they don't have a hole in the Finder for my cables to drop through. Come one Apple, let's keep this 1982 'real world' metaphor going!
Truly horrid, isn't it? I threw up on my keyboard the first time it cam up.
Matthias Eckardt's free, "LionBleacher" helps some. At least it eliminates the horrible "Leather" metaphor.
Truly funny, Rich.
Send Apple feedback about it! I HATE it with a passion. Truly aweful. This is a MODERN operating system and built-in apps should fit the look.
Ok, I can deal with the leather look for address book because it's just a little strip. As for the top of iCal, it looks like someone used iCal as toilet paper on their diarrhea covered butt! Apple please give us an option to change it to a 'classic' view like in mail!
Yeah the leather look is really out of character, reminds me of the all the horrendous skinning options you used to get on PC software.
What next - steampunk iCal? Shame as Mail is so nice and clean. Please change it Apple!
