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.

Nice Tip

Works great in IE7 and Firefox 2.x...anyone have it working w/IE6? Thanks.

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
text-decoration: line-throughine-throughine-through;
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

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