Skinning Lotus Notes Workspace

This morning I stumbled onto a really cool tool that allows you to skin your Lotus Notes workspace.

It’s called INTEGRATE!People LIGHT EDITION by a company called CODEX

* FREE Desktop skinning (with 12+ example skins - see some here)
* FREE Set Bookmark as Homepage (with 4 examples)
* FREE remove double (=exact same) bookmarks from within the same folder(s) during client startup

Here are the steps I followed to install it:

1.) Download executable HERE
2.) Click on the file to install, choosing the location of your notes\data directory.
3.) After the file is installed, open the “I!P Light” database. You will see a navigator on the left, and at the bottom a section containing documentation. Click on the document titled “Installation and Rollout”.
4.) Click the button that says “Install DLL on this client now”. You should see a message popup saying “DLL extracted to data directory, added ip4free.dll” to notes.ini entry EXTMGR_ADDINS”.
5.) On the navigator on the left, click “Desktop Skinning”, you should now see documents on the right hand side. To install the theme you want, select the desired document, and click the “Activate selected Skin” Action button.

Below is an example of a very very bad skin:

A very bad Lotus Notes Skin!
