How to modify font and color properties of unread/read documents in Notes 8.0.x10/17/2008 09:36 PM

In Lotus Notes® 8 releases, you notice that the mail files using the Notes 8 mail template display unread documents in black. Custom databases and mail files using the Notes 6 or 7 mail template display unread documents as specified in the "Rows Unread" setting of the View/Folder properties. The default is red for templates that ship with Notes/Lotus Domino®.
You want to change the color of read and unread documents in your mail file design. How can this be done?

Cause:
Notes 8 Standard Configuration contains a code file (notes.css) to determine the color of unread documents in a mail file based on the Notes 8 mail template. This code file does not read from the View/Folder Property Rows setting found on the Style tab.

Answer:
An enhancement request to add a user interface option to modify the font style and color of Notes 8 mail files was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# JSTN7EEJXL Notes 8.0 and 8.0.1
To change the color of read and unread documents, you must manually modify the notes.css file that stores these settings. You must also be sure that the Preferences Theme setting (File --> Preferences --> Windows and Themes --> Theme) is set to "Notes 8 Theme". Also, Notes should be exited before editing the file.

To locate the notes.css file, it's best to use the operating system search feature since the file location can vary depending on when and where Notes was installed. A typical location for this file is in a directory structure similar to the following:

C:\Programfiles\Lotus\notes\framework\shared\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.notes.branding_3.0.0.20070803-1143\themes
