Background colour on subForm?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Is it possible to change this in some way?

I never thought that it was, but I’m looking at the DeliveryOptions subForm in the 6.5 mail template. It has a dark grey background, but I can’t for the life of me see where that’s been set!

Well normally subforms just take on the colour of the parent form, but I wonder whether jiggery-pokery has been done in the mail template with regards the $PaperColor field in the subform design note? Worth a shot, although I note that this field doesn’t get set when you set the colour of a normal form, so I could be well off there.

Thanks Ben.

I got around the problem (which was that a portion of the dark grey was showing up on the Macintosh client) by copying and pasting all the fields and code onto a Form. I then the background colour on that to System Colour.

Subject: add a $paperColor field on subform?

Old thread but my contribution:Don’t know if this is what Lotus did in the mail template, but maybe they created a $PaperColor field with the appropriate color nbr, save the subform and then delete the $papercolor ???

It’s gray because the table it’s built on is set to use the System color, so it’s the table rather than the sub-form that’s being colored.

Thanks Graham, but I don’t think that’s it.

I can see that the table’s been set to System Colour, but the subForm outside of the table is not the System Colour. It’s dark grey; much darker than System Colour.
