Changing Style for Hannover Client R8 mail file using CSS

In R8 Lotus Notes client, IBM has provided a feature to change the look and feel of Email file (Inbox, Email Threads, Calendar view etc) using CSS.

If you want to do the experiment follow the steps below:

a. Search for "notes.css" in "Lotus\Notes\" installation directory of R8 client.
b. backup notes.css before making any change (this will help you in case you lost your original styles :) )
c. Edit notes.ini different styles e.g. if you want to change the style for read and unread emails appearing in the Inbox, you can change this style:


/* this sets the style for messages that have been marked as "unread" */
mailtable>row>unread {
color: black;
font-family: Tahoma, Times, Helvetica;
font-size: 8pt;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
}

/* this sets the style for messages that have been marked as "read"
mailtable>row>read {
color: #646464;
font-style: normal;
}
*/

However this feature is currently available only for R8 email file. I hope in future domino developers will have this feature to provide the look and feel for any domino application using CSS.
