It is very important that we find a solution to help make Notes look capable so they will not continue in their hatred of Notes and want to kick it out of here.
...
We are still on 6.0.1, but I don't believe that this is 'fixed' in any version.
I've done stuff in the past with emails, hidden sections containing .mac files and so on, but I doubt that works in ND6.x. The solution provided in the link does work, it's just whether that's a solution you'll contemplate or not. You can update the design of bookmarks.nsf programmatically, that's not a massive deal.
Now, if customised smarticons are the entire basis for your executives sticking with the "hated" Notes client, I'd give up now.
I have no idea where "distributable smarticons" sit on Lotus' list of priorities, but it would be a feature request not a bug fix as intimated above. As with all feature requests, if they get enough requests, then maybe they'll do something about it.
