Trying to not display the date in the iCal icon!

[brenm666]

Hi guys,

Im trying to get the iCal's icon to not display the date, but nothing works...
here's what i did so far: changing most of the icns files in the iCal.app/Contents/Ressources. and changing the App-empty.icns in iCal.app/Contents/Resources/iCalDockTilePlugIn.docktileplugin/Contents/Resources.
so the icon is changed, but the date still shows up on it...

thanks a lot!

oh, and im not using candybar...
liteicon ftw!

The date is drawn by the iCal executable code. You can't stop it happening.

really? you cant even disable it by playing the file? (i know, its dangerous...)

Why do you want to disable it?

How about replacing the icon with a black one so the black characters blend in?

I have no idea by what you mean by "playing the file". If you mean manually editing the compiled executable code (which is going to be very hard) then iCal won't run: Apples applications are cryptographically signed. If you alter the executable in any way they won't work.
