I may be easily pleased or just easily excitable for a Friday but for those of you lucky enough to be running 8.0.1 or later (in Beta) you can now play with changing the theme of your Notes client. IBM have come out with a handful of new themes (colours, standard fonts etc) which you can install to your client using the public widget catalog hosted on our server. Here's how to do it
- The catalog is on www.noteswidgets.com but the Domino server name is Tranquility/TurtlePublic so you'll need a connection document to Tranquility/TurtlePublic using the address www.noteswidgets.com.
- In your preferences under 'widgets' enter Tranquility/TurtlePublic as the server name and widgetcatalog.nsf as the catalog name - it should fetch a series of categories when you apply it
- Choose the category 'Theme' to automatically install the theme feature
- Restart your client when prompted
- Now under your Preferences - Windows and Themes - you have new ones to choose from
This is my client with 'Natural' installed. Much thanks to IBM for developing it and Mary Beth getting it on the public server.
