Theme does not change after disabling high contrast
If you enable the high contrast theme using the UI sequence Control Panel > Accessibility options >
Display tab, enable the "Use High Contrast' checkbox, and apply the settings, then later return to the
Display tab and disable the "Use High Contrast" checkbox, the visual theme does not change to the
default Notes 8 theme. Colors and fonts change because they using the default native.css. However, the
theme remains still set to the "Operating System" theme in the Windows and Themes preference panel.
To resolve this theme display issue, restart the Notes client after disabling the "Use High Contrast"
setting.

Toolbars can experience display issues in new window theme
The toolbars can experience redraw issues when using the Notes client in the new window theme - this
can be enabled using File - Preferences - Windows & Themes, and selecting "Launch each document in
its own window".
For example, when reading a message, the new window is smaller, so if you have enabled additional
toolbars there will not be enough room to display the toolbars completely, and overflow buttons will be
used. At times these overflow buttons do not display correctly in the new window mode, and sometimes
some of the toolbar sections do not display correctly (they may get cutoff). Resize the new window to be
a little larger, and the toolbars and overflow buttons will redisplay correctly.
Note: This tends to happen more when using your display in 1024x768 mode.

Unexpected feed reader subscription behavior
The Notes 8 feed reader does not allow you to subscribe to feeds that force a URL redirect. However, if
you open a browser and enter the feed URL, record the actual destination URL, and use that destination
URL in your feed subscription, the feed subscription will be successful.
For example, the following feed may fail if a redirect is required:
http://www.computerweekly.com/Feeds/RSS.aspx?cat=135
In this instance, if you put the above address into a Web browser address bar, the URL resolves to the
following, which you can then use to subscribe to the feed using the Notes 8 feed reader.
http://feeds.reedbusiness.co.uk/9d63ef1e-138d-422d-b543-2db74210f87a/CW360/The%20latest%20E-B
usiness.xml
Of related note, when you first enter the URL (http://www.computerweekly.com/Feeds/RSS.aspx?cat=135
), the address is converted correctly, but you may receive an error message stating that the XML page
cannot be displayed. If this happens, click "Go" again to resolve the URL, and display the expected XML
page.
