Inbox Column Icons Changing

Why does the Inbox column for icons try to change the value you pass into the _ViewIcon field? I want to display #160, but it gets translated to 205 in the icon column formula. What for? Now I can’t use all the icons available. 160 is still in the list for 8.5.1, why can’t I display it?

Here’s the code from the inbox icon column:

REM {COLUMN FORMULA IS USED BY MANY VIEWS - IF YOU MODIFY THIS FORMULA, BE SURE TO MAKE THE SAME CHANGE IN ALL OTHER VIEWS};

REM {DNT};

REM { MessageType and MoodStamp icons};

IMowner := @Name([Abbreviate]; Principal);

IMoriginator := @Name([Abbreviate]; $IMOriginator);

REM {private invite};

CSisPrivate := @If(@IsUnavailable($PublicAccess) & @IsAvailable($CSVersion);“1”;“0”);

REM {pencil = 12};

ViewIcon2 := @If(_ViewIcon = 158 & AppointmentType != “1” & BookFreeTime = “1”; 12; _ViewIcon);

REM {isImportant := @If(Importance=“1”;“1”;“0”)};

tmpIcon := @If(ExpireDate !=“” ;64;

@If(DeliveredDate = “”;

@If(PostedDate="" | @IsUnavailable(PostedDate);

        @If(@IsAvailable(IsMailStationery);  21;

       @IsAvailable(_ViewIcon); ViewIcon2;

        58);

		   @If(IsImportant="1"; 124; ($CSFlags="x" | NoticeType="0") &@IsAvailable(_ViewIcon);_ViewIcon; 122));

@IsAvailable(_ViewIcon); ViewIcon2;

@IsAvailable(_ViewIcon2); _viewicon2;

$TypeIcon));

REM {“If the Task has no icon, display the invitation icon - backward compatibility”};

varTaskIcon := @If(Form = “Task” & (!@IsAvailable(_ViewIcon) | ViewIcon2 = “”) & (!@IsAvailable(_ViewIcon2) | ViewIcon2 = “”); @False; @True);

REM {iconOne := @If(!varTaskIcon; 133; @If(tmpIcon = “”; 0; tmpIcon))};

iconTwo := @If(iconOne=124; 0; CSisPrivate=“1”; 164; RTIcon != “”; RTIcon; 0);

IconsToShow := @If(CSIsPrivate = “1”; 164; !varTaskIcon; 133; tmpIcon = 0 | tmpIcon = “”; 0; tmpIcon);

ICS2 := @If(

@Version < @Text(300); IconsToShow;

IconsToShow = 9; 194;

IconsToShow = 10; 195;

IconsToShow = 33; 196;

IconsToShow = 38; 197;

IconsToShow = 39; 198;

IconsToShow = 63; 199;

IconsToShow = 71 & ($CSFlags=“x” | NoticeType=“0”); 213;

IconsToShow = 81; 200;

IconsToShow = 82; 201;

IconsToShow = 83; 202;

IconsToShow = 84; 203;

IconsToShow= 133; 212;

IconsToShow= 158; 210;

IconsToShow= 160; 205;

IconsToShow= 164; 206;

IconsToShow= 166; 207;

IconsToShow= 168 & @LowerCase(form) = @LowerCase(“TaSk”) & DueState = 9; 201;

IconsToShow= 168 & @LowerCase(form) != @LowerCase(“TaSk”) ; 201;

IconsToShow= 169; 208;

IconsToShow= 170; 209;

IconsToShow);

@If(

Form=“Person”;3;

Form=“Group”;4;

Form=“(ReplyNotice)”;123;

@Contains(form; “NonDelivery”) & @IsAvailable(FailureReason); 211;

@IsAvailable($IMTranscript) & @LowerCase(IMoriginator) = @LowerCase(IMowner); “ChatTranscriptMe.gif”;

@IsAvailable($IMTranscript); “Chat_transcript_icon.gif”;

ICS2 = “” | ICS2 = 0; 211 ;

Subject: the reason it was changed

Based on feedback from the public forums (and internally), the designers wanted to slightly change the “importance” icon as it displayed in the Mail template. #205 is left-justified (#150 is center-justified), and has the correct hover text of “High Priority”.

We kept icon #150 available for backwards compatibility.

Subject: I don’t understand the answer.

I want to display icon 160, which is a guy with his hand waving. The code in the column changes this to icon 205, which is a clock.

I don’t get what this has to do with the importance icon, which is in a separate column???

So what’s the reason for changing my icon to 205?

Thank you.

Subject: sorry, read your initial question wrong

In a similar fashion, 206 (clock icon) has better bubble help (“Appointment”) than icon 160 (“person waving hand” popul help). And the designers felt that a clock would better depict an appointment.
