A:
You can change the color of an item, but not the background of the window.

To change the color of an item, you can create and add categories and give each category a different color. The category colors will display in the Item List and in the Calendar.

To assign a category to an item:

1. Right-click an item in your Mailbox or Calendar > click Categories > select a category from the list.

To add a new category:

1. Right-click an item > click Categories > More.
2. Type the category name in the field at the bottom of the Categories dialog box.
3. Click Add.
4. To assign a color to a category, select the category name in the list > click Edit Color > click a color > OK.

See Using Categories to Organize Items in the GroupWise 6.5 documentation for more information.
