Q: ical skin change

Inside story, all the graphics used for those programs are stored within the package files for those apps and can be changed/edited; however you should only attempt this if you know exactly what you're doing-- I found about it myself through "OS X: The Missing Manual" which provides a huge amount of info. Needless to say if you do end up going in there and changing the graphics, always backup the originals

I hade the same problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina display, MAC OSX 10.7.4. Whant you need to do is run iCal and Addressbook in "low resolution" mode in order to apply the changes.
Here's how to do that (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5266):
- Quit the application if it is currently open.
- In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
- In the Applications folder that opens, click the application's icon (e.g. iCal) so it is highlighted.
- Choose Get Info from the File menu.
- Place a checkmark next to "Open in Low Resolution" to enable Low Resolution mode.
6. Close the window and double click the iCal icon in Applications to reopen iCal.
Hope this helps.
