Hi Mike,
Sync Services doesn't include calendar colors, so if you need the
calendar names and colors, it's probably better to load the ~/Library/
Application Support/iCal/nodes.plist file into an NSDictionary and
sift through that. (It's unfortunate to parse a private file like
this, but I haven't found a way around it.) I wrote some code a while
ago to load the calendar names and colors from ~/Library/Application
Support/iCal/nodes.plist. If you'd like it, just email me off-list.
If you need events, too, then I would recommend using Sync Services.
But keep in mind that it won't handle recurring events for you.

Basically I want to retrieve from iCal a list of the different
calendars the user has (just their titles and ideally colours). At
present I am doing this using a mixture of Applescript and accessing
iCal's data files directly. I need to be able to quickly retrieve
this data and then either "poll" for changes, or be notified when
something changes.
Sync Services certainly seems very handy and a great idea, but from
looking through it, I really can't figure out whether to go for it.
Mike.
