Additional Calendar Colouring
Lotus Notes 8 has added two new colouring features to your calendar. Now in addition to defining the colours for the different meeting types, you can now define how you want unprocessed meetings (many Lotus people refer to them as ghosts) and cancellations to appear on your calendar.
Here is an example where I invite Ed to a meeting.
He has not yet accepted the calendar invite that is in his in-box, but Notes 8 now displays the unprocessed meeting on his calendar anyway.
After he accepts, it is displayed as you would expect.
Then I as the chairperson have to unfortunately have to cancel the meeting. Ed has not had the time to open the cancelation notice in his email, but Notes 8 automatically changes the way the meeting is displayed on his calendar, visually informing him that the meeting has been cancelled.
