iCal: How to display full event title?

I am new to Mac, Mac OS X and iCal.

In the monthly view of iCal, I found it very inconvenient to read only the first 10-12 characters of an event's title. To read the full length title, I have to do one of the following:

  • go to full screen
  • reduce font size to "unreadable"
  • open the event edit dialog
  • go to the daily view

None of the above options satisfies me.

Is there a way to have iCal display additional info (full title, comments...) when mouse stay over an event for one second or so?

Alternatively, is there a way to make a long (> 10 chars) title wrap to a new line rather than being cut with ...?


There are many threads (on other forums) asking about the title wrapping, but I'm afraid it isn't possible. For reference, I found this, this, and this.
