I have tried a couple of methods to change the iCal and Contacts skins in the Macbookpro Retina and neither of them have worked. Lion Tweaks, god bless his little Norwegien cotton socks, doesn't mention it doesn't work with the Ret, and Simple Change is the same. I'm not savvy enough to mess around with Terminal but if anyone hear's anything let me know. Ta.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
those kind of changes are relevant to Mac OS X and not on the hardware, be it iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, whatever.
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
see if these are of any interest: http://macnix.blogspot.com/2011/07/change-mac-os-x-107-lion-ical-skin-to.html, http://applehelpwriter.wordpress.com/tag/change-ical-skin/, etc
Hi there,
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):
6. Close the window and double click the iCal icon in Applications to reopen iCal.
Hope this helps.
