How toChange the Colors, Fonts and Formatting used by ClearContext Inbox Manager

By , About.com Guide

ClearContext Inbox Manager lets you tell the importance of any message in your Outlook Inbox by looking at its color. The default colors used by ClearContext — red, blue, green, black and gray — may not be your preferred colors, however.

Fortunately, it's easy to adapt the colors and fonts used by ClearContext. You can make all highly important mail appear in pink and with an italic font, for example, or even make the font slightly bigger.
