Updating Outline/Page Design Via DXL

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have developed an application to apply a uniform UI (skin) to all design elements in a Notes application via DXL. I have encountered a problem in my efforts to remove the background color for an outline embedded on a page.

Comparing the DXL generated from the DXL viewer it appears that in order to have a transparent background for the outline I need to remove the normalcolor attribute from the eoutlinebackground node. However, if I remove this attribute and reimport the DXL, Domino seems to create a normalcolor=“white” entry. Is there some way of preventing the entry being created so that I can have a skin that specifies a transparent outline background color?

thanks in advance…

My comparison suggests that the node should be removed altogether – it may not be allowed to have no attributes.

The node is still required to specify the selectedcolor and mouseovercolor

Looking at the DTD, it seems like you’d be allowed to do this:

I dont know how you’d specify “none” for the node, but maybe leaving that one out would do the trick. (I hate reading DTDs, by the way.)

This seems to be a bug.The color ‘none’ is ignored.
