I can confirm from a high level IBM Executive I met very briefly today that the gutter which I and many so wanted to return and were told it would return in 8.0.1 is not.
It will be in 8.0.2 which is due in Q3 most likely. Of course by then 8.5 is expected(well Dec 32nd)so just wrap the code together get the developers to stop overlapping and get 8.5 out sooner.
Oh and it will be an option and UNABLED by default.
In a 2nd question I asked him why we went to a bold black line for unread emails after the red and I was told because that was a Windows(Outlook) I presume he meant standard.
That is NOT a good reason to do anything. While I admit Microsoft has some nice UI work from their team(although consistency in toolbars/ribbons and function keys still has a long way to go)I do not consider bold black part of that UI work.
Sure, red is a bad color in some cultures and if I was so interested in changing it I could track down the .css file 8 levels down in a some directory and change the color.
Would it be so hard to add a simnple 8 color check box into preferences to accomplish this for the END USERS who want to change it without bothering the poor overworked developers?

Neither is Roaming. We were told that 8.0.1 would have it, but NO. It is being planned for 8.5 now.
ReplyDeleteTo me that is a regression and a show stopper.

Dan,
ReplyDeleteI feel your pains on this one for my clients as well.
Looking on the bright side, SMBs really need traveler, many of us have wanted to create Sametime invitations from Notes and we can now plus you can embedd phone call conference information in the meetings too.
Any complaints of course should not go to Mary Beth Raven, but suggestions should, complaints go to her boss Jeff Eisen.
Jeff if you aren't her boss, then let us know who to send them to :-)
WELL, IN MY NOTES CLIENT, JUST NOW UPDATED TO 8.0.1, THERE IS *ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE* BETWEEN READ AND UNREAD E-MAILS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHE IT DEPARTMENT IS CONVINCED IT'S MY FAULT -- BECAUSE I ONCE CHANGED A FONT IN 2004 OR SOMETHING AND IN THEIR IT-PROFESSIONAL REASONING THIS MAKES ME RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BUG ON MY COMPUTER
Johan,
ReplyDeleteYou can change the color in 801 but not in 802.The tool is found linked from my site or you can edit the css manually.
There is no way to do it in 802.
