Change the default XPages View Collapse and Expand image

This is how you can change the default collapse and expand image for XPages views with 2 easy moves.
1st: add the following lines to your theme:

<control>
        <name>Column.View</name>
        <property>
            <name>collapsedImage</name>
            <value>/expand.gif</value>
        </property>
        <property>
            <name>expandedImage</name>
            <value>/collapse.gif</value>
        </property>
</control>

2nd: add the 2 gifs to the Resources/Images in your Lotus Notes designer.

The result is: all of your XPages views' collapse and expand image changed to your own customized image.
In this solution the changes are acting for both Lotus Notes and web-client.

Have nice and modern applications with XPages!

Speed up the eclipse based designer

I felt that my LN 8.5 is like a snail. I searched for a solution. Here I am sharing it.

Close your Notes and open the notes program folder and browse the '\framework\rpc\deploy\jvm.properties' file. Open with text editor. Locate the following line:

vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx256m

Usually you can find this line at the beginning of the file. This is the factory default settings, and means how much memory can be allocated when your Lotus Notes is starting.

If you have only 2GB of RAM than set it between 256 and 768. If you have more than 2 GB than can be set for 1024.

vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx1024m

And now restart your Lotus Notes.
