If you don't like different window sizes in the day, week and month view (BTW where is the year view?), follow these steps:

  1. Start iCal.app and set the window size of the day view to your favorite size.
  2. Quit iCal.app.
  3. Double click on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist and the Property List Editor.app opens (the Developer tool must be installed). But of course, you can use any text editor to do this (BBEdit, TextEdit, vi, pico, etc.).
  4. Now copy the value of the property "1-day view window size" to the values of the properties "7-day view window size" and "monthly view window size".
  5. Save and quit the Property List Editor.app.
  6. Start iCAl.app et violĂ : equal window sizes for each view.
You may wish to create a backup copy of your preferences file after editing to make it easy to recreate the identically sized windows in the future.
