There are some Notes users who miss the good old red unread marks in Notes 8 Standard. Qian Liang from the Chinese IBM development lab has added another theme 'classic mail' to his OpenNTF component with which users can now see unread mails in red again.
In order to use it go to the OpenNTF catalog and the component 'Notes Themes'. This sample can be installed via drag and drop into your Notes client..

This is too funny. It reminds me of the time before we moved to Notes... We had a user complain about a particular cc:Mail for Windows UI issue soooooo much that we wrote up the issue, provided her suggested fix (she had a PhD in something) and submited it to support though our SAM. Two versions later Lotus fixed it (obviously there were more customers than just us that complained). When we rolled the upgrade out, the same person put in a help desk ticket that they did not like the way the specifc UI had changed. We had to pull the submission to Lotus and show her that the change was made for her specfic UI issue exactly as she requested. Sometimes you just want to say "get used to it" or "get over it". It is the same reason we made our unread marks BLUE in Notes 4.6, because our former cc:Mail users could not deal with RED unread marks.
