Calendar - current day color

HCL Domino Domino Forum

In Designer, is there a way to change the default color for the current day in a monthly calendar view?

When I look at my monthly view, it’s not easy to focus on today’s entries and I’d like to change the background for that day only to a different color so that I can easily detect the current days activities.

Thanks!

Subject: Nope…

…I see the .jar file in the folder you specified, but NOT the style sheet (notes.css or whatever) file you reference. In fact, I don’t see any .css files in that directory on my machine, just the jar file and a ton of other files.

How can we edit a file that doesn’t exist?

Please provide guidance that a user can actually USE to change the color of the current day in the Lotus Notes calendar to something that we can actually SEE as being a different color than the color of every other day.

Thanks1

Hi Gerald,

For Notes Standard views, we pick up the color definitions from the notes.css which is included in the com.ibm.notes.branding_.jar file which can be found under the \framework\shared\eclipse\plugins directory. This is true when running the Notes 8 Theme found in the Notes preferences. If running with the Operating System Theme, then we use native.css in conjunction with system defaults.

I believe the element in notes.css that you are interested in is calendar > day.systemdate.

The colors of the entries, however, are defined by the columns of the $Calendar view found in the mail85.ntf.

Hope this helps.

I agree with Bill Booger. I cannot find how to modify notes.css.

I think this color was chosen with CRT monitors. It is a problem with SCD Monitors.

Hi, In Lotus Notes 8.5.2 Calendar view, the current day is light blue. On my LCD monitor, it is invisible unless I lower my head to get perfectly aligned. This is a problem for me. I went to a meeting an hour away on the wrong day. Can you please give more detail on how to rectify this?
