Can I have an animated GIF background wallpaper for lotus notes emails?

Asked By Thomas H Linquist 20 points N/A Posted on - 06/04/2013

I am able to change the background wallpaper for lotus notes, by selecting File/Application/Properties, Document, and then selecting the color in the background tab, or I can select an image (or resource, whatever that is?). What I'm wondering is, can I have an animated GIF as the background image for emails?

Hi Thomas,

The answer to your question is “YES”. If you intend to use this Image as a permanent background when you send an Email all you have to do is:

1. Create a Stationery
   1. Open your Domino Account(Mailbox)
   2. From the left Pane look for “Tools” > then click “ Stationery” (See Image below)

      
      and then
      

   3. Click on Message or Personal.
2. Go to File > Applications > Properties
   
3. From the drop-down box look for “Document” (as shown above)
4. Click on the third Tab and look for the browse folder Icon.
   
5. Select the Image and the background will appear once you click OK.

 

Hope this helps!

Hello,

How are you doing? Hope all is well with you. I have good news and bad news for your question. Bad news is, Outlook 2007 has no support for background images but by use of this code, you can have background images in your emails.

Background-image: url('http://www.somename.com/bg.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-y no-repeat; background-position: top center; background-color: #d9c092;

You place this code in a visual basic application that comes installed in Microsoft Outlook.

You just go to Tools > Macros > Visual Basic Editor(Alt+F4)
