Problem

I would like "hover-over" capability for WebAccess messages.

Solution

Add the following lines of .CSS to the Groupwise WebAccess stylesheet. This will enable a very nice [hover over] / [selected] look to each message.

(Note: The lines should be added at the bottom of the stylesheet to override any previously set styles.)

tr.read:hover > td {background-color: rgb(255,235,134) !important;}
tr.unread:hover > td {background-color: rgb(205,243,159) !important;}
tr.selected > td {background-color: rgb(255,255,206) !important; color: rgb(0,0,0) !important; text-decoration: line-throughine-throughine-through;}
tr.selected > td.read > a, tr.selected > td.unread > a {color: rgb(0,0,0) !important;}

Very nice addition!

Although for those that don't know... you add this to the gwstyle.css file in
sys\tomcat\4\webapps\gw\com\novell\webaccess\images

Text Color

Nice addition, but when messages are selected the text in the from and subject fields becomes un-readable, anyone else having that problem and could we simply change the text color ?

I must be missing something

This sounds great. But I can not get it to work. I have copied the 4 lines and pasted it my gwstyle.css file. Then I restarted the Tomcat service and my webacc service.

Should the lines be in a specific spot in the gwstyle.css file?

Great Suggestion

Although you didn't specify where to place the code (I placed then in at the bottom of the:

/***********************************************************************
Across the board styles
************************************************************************/

section. Works like a charm for me. I didn't experience the "un-readable" from and subject problems described previously.

Thanks for the post.

Works like a charm when the code is placed at the bottom.

Thanks

@jpws6: Make sure you add the lines at the bottom of the original CSS. It needs to overwrite the previous styles on those elements to work properly.

What does

mean or do? Are you sure this is correct?

@Anonymous: I have no idea if it will work in GW8.

@Anonymous: Good catch. Never noticed that. It probably does not do anything because I can't imagine that being valid.

It does work in GW8

Submitted by mmecord on 20 April 2009 - 1:28pm.

The style sheet has a different location though. On my system it is in:
sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\gw\webaccess\200901262058\css
