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.

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!
