Notes.css changes to color

Running RedHat Linux 64 ( IBM Open Client) with LN 8.5.3. I have changed notes.css to change the default color for Inbox mail. The change works after toggling Preferences>“Windows and Themes”>“Notes 8 Theme” to “Operating System Theme” and back to “Notes 8 Theme”. But it does not stick. After restarting Notes it reverts back to normal color setting. Anyone know if there is a way to make the change permanent? Tosh.

Lotus product is typically installed in /opt/IBM/Lotus/…The user files are typically installed under the home directory.

In my case I found the product.xml in this directory:

/home//lotus/notes/data/workspace/.config/org.eclipse.update

I deleted product.xml and launched Notes. The file was generated automatically and now the color setting is sticking.
