LEE123  It is my opinion that this app is most certainly needed on osx tiger. I always found it absurd that Apple did not have the ical icon reflect the current date. It should have been built in as it is in osx 10.5.

JIMW  Disclosure: I have not downloaded this or tried it so my comments are philosophical.

That said, while the idea is nice and might make a desktop more attractive, does a user really need another app, whose purpose is only to change the color of an icon, to run every day and as such be in a position to potentially cause conflicts, permissions issues, etc. and and further processor and threads to an already complex system, especially during startup?

All one has to do is examine the Activity Monitor after boot up, to get an idea of just how much is running in the background without the using doing anything other than booting the machine. So unless something makes me more productive, or does something easier or better for me, I am quite reluctant to add its load to my system.

As a suggestion, perhaps the app can be written to actually go into iCal to modify its resources to achieve this effect. That way the program would only need to be run once whenever iCal is updated by Apple. As well be noted by others, this might well be fraught by dangers as you are modifying an App. However a backup could automatically be made during the mod process and kept until the user is comfortable with the results. While any kind of mod to an app, (current program, or suggested alternative) poses risks, the latter would seem more preferable to me as it would not be affecting startup times or adding threads on a regular basis that could slow down some systems.

In any case that is my opinion, for whatever it is worth, and you are most certainly welcome to disagree with it. In fact I would be most surprised if there were other users that did not disagree with it. After all, it is only just an opinion and as such I do not expect everyone to agree with it. But it is my opinion right or wrong.

TOMDOHERTY  Great little app. except for the annoying way it messes up my permissions every time iCal is updated/system restarted/Dock refreshed.  
(Version 1.8)

SELF-INFLICTED  Same problem as others. Installed it, used it for one day... and realized the next day it was still stuck on the 29th. Deleted the app and any trace of it I could find, removed/reinserted iCal in the dock, pasted on the icon from a recent backup copy of iCal, restarted... and five days later it was showing the 29th again. Reinstalled one last time just to try to restore the default, then re-delete.

Nice idea, but not worth this trouble. I've decided I have no problem with my iCal icon displaying iCal's original date of release (June 17) after all.

NEIL_M  I was thinking of installing this, but Leopard seems to auto update the date on the ical dock icon.

I was surprised.

Anyone else noticed this?

DOBES  Finally, I can leave my iCal icon on the dock! The static date and red color were really unpleasant for me, but iConiCal finally changed it. Works great in Leopard. It's a small thing, but it makes a difference to me. Thanks!

RICK907  iCon iCal is a great idea but it doesn't work as advertised.

It doesn't change the dates. I've followed the installation directions and checked the two proper boxes in settings. Now I try to pull up the settings menu to double check the settings menu and it won't show regardless of how hard I press the apple key. My Mac OS is 10.4.10.

block soft has some apps I'd be interested in buying but I haven't bothered to look at them due to my experience with iCon iCal.

BILL SCOTT  I'm running OSX 10.4.10. When I first installed 1.3, it seemed to work fine. I updated to 1.4 and have had problems since. 1.4 didn't appear to start and update the icon consistently when I logged in. I've tried uninstalling the application using appledelete and then using spotlight to find any remaining preferenc, etc. files and drag them to the trash. Funny thing, after all that the application still seems to work, i.e. it changes the dock icon when I start ical. When I do a spotlight search, I can't find any iconical files. Where is it hiding? I like this application and would like to get it completely off my Mac so I can reinstall it from scratch and see if I can get it working right. What do you sugggest?

Thanks,  
(Version 1.4)

EJ1  iConiCal won't set date at start up or log in. If I last launched the app on the 21st then it's always the 21st unless I launch iConiCal again. The settings window can't be accessed. Preferences can't be accessed because the program quits immediately.

How can I return iCal to normal?
