Domino Restyle Updates

Domino Restyle updates an application's UI elements with a color-coordinated, cleaner look and feel.

Domino Designer 14.0 supports choosing the updated view icons for applications even if you do not restyle them. The new Use restyled icons property allows you to use the updated view column icons. If the application is run in earlier versions, the old column icons will be used.
