A great deal of new features have been implemented in Leopard, it has a completely new and redesigned user interface.

The Apple site has a whole write up on the changes being made: here is a link: Apple - Mac OS X Leopard - Features - iCal

But still no recurring "to dos", which is a basic feature in every other calendaring app...

also I would like to see a omnifocus style integrated to do list fetaure....probably something for 10.6?

Meanwhile in 10.5

You mentioned one feature.where are the great deal of others.they certainly don't seem to be listed on the link to apple's site. Aprt from the gui makeover and the server integration.........that seems to be it.

I have a few specific "improvements" (in my opinion) that I am looking for.

1) When in month view, the ability to change the background color (to whatever color I want) of a day (or days). This makes it easy to notice important days when you've printed out your calendar and posted it on a wall.
2) When in month view, I want the font of the calendar (or calendars) to print out in the same color as the calendars color in iCal. Currently in iCal, you get a small rectangular box with the color of the calendar in front of the text of the appointments.
3) I'd also like the ability to change the font for any particular appointment in a day (or days) to be italic or underlined, or bolded, or other styles. You can do this with Now up to date. iCal needs it.
4) The ability to add in a graphics picture into the background box of a day when in month view. You can do this with now up to date. It came in handy for my son's baseball as I pasted in baseball pictures for each of his practices and games.

I suspect some of you will suggest buying Now up to date (the next iteration of it is called Nighthawk). I would if it wasn't around $150.00. This is more than Leopard and you get a WHOLE LOT more when you buy 10.5 vs Nighthawk.

Stands for "This thread is worthless without pictures." Historically, more useful for a thread that could contain nudie pics. In this case, the poster wants Leopard iCal pr0n screenshots instead. Which are readily available if you care to check out Think Secret and Apple Insider (who seem to do not much more than link to each other as "scoops."

I would guess the poster is also a visual learner and incapable of imagining screen shots by just text descriptions

Indeed. And could they just call it "Calendar" and lose the silly "iCal" name while they are at it?
