WebAdmin Help

WebMail Agent: Appearance

You can change the default colors used in the WebMail client and its online help. Provide the WebMail client appearance settings > click Apply to save the settings > restart the WebMail Agent so the WebMail client functions as configured.

Colors
You can change foreground and background colors of five page areas. For assistance with hexadecimal color codes, refer to the Color Table.

Page
Any space not occupied by other, more specific elements. The page background is gray (D8D8D8) by default.

Border
The area at the top and bottom of the page, where the page title and buttons are located. The border background is lavender (C9E0FC) by default.

Section
A main heading. The heading background is gray (CCCCD2) by default.

Field Name
A type of information you provide or that is listed for you. The field name background is blue (ABCDEF) by default.

Field Body
The area where you specify field values. The field body background is beige (EEEEEE) by default.

If you want to experiment with various color schemes, you will find it easier to work in the WebMail client, where you can test your color settings immediately. After deciding on a color scheme, set the colors on the WebMail Agent Appearance page to establish the default colors for all WebMail users. Individual WebMail users may then customize the colors for the WebMail interface in WebMail Preferences. Values set in WebMail Preferences override the defaults set in WebAdmin on a system level.
