Customizing the Domino server and administrator console

By creating a Server Console configuration document for the server you are monitoring, you can specify the text, background, and color attributes that the Domino® server console uses to display monitoring information. By default, the Domino Administrator server console uses the same attributes, but you can override the defaults and customize the appearance of the Domino Administrator server console.
