Taking a look at the onet.xml (located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML) I did a search for the new.gif and found it surrounded by an <IfNew> element. A search on MSDN leads to this document which states:
"Returns TRUE if the item is considered new. Usually, this means that the item was created after midnight the day before. This element renders its contents if the item was created today, that is, after only one day has passed, the number of days being a registry setting for which the default value is 1."
I had to read that a few times, but it boils down to two days.
To check that, run:
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname days-to-show-new-icon -url "<site_url>"
It returns 2.
If you want to change it, run:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn days-to-show-new-icon -pv <number_of_days> -url "<site_url>"
Example :
- Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. or goto MS Power shell
- Type the following commands, and then press ENTER after each command:
1. getproperty
PS C:\Users\Administrator> stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname days-to-show-new-
icon -url "http://192.168.1.40:6855"
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="2" />PS C:\Users\Administrator> stsadm -o setproper
ty -pn days-to-show-new-icon -pv 2 -url "http://inddev16:7576"
Operation completed successfully.
2. setproperty
PS C:\Users\Administrator> stsadm -o setproperty -pn days-to-show-new-icon -pv 0
-url "http://192.168.1.40:6855"
Operation completed successfully.

Here are the steps to change default font size in SharePoint 2010
1. I am using the CSS from Serve’s Blog Copy this CSS or create a new CSS file in SharePoint Designer as below
.ms-bodyareacell td, .ms-bodyareacell p, .ms-bodyareacell div, .ms-bodyareacell span,
.ms-bodyareacell p, .ms-bodyareacell a,.ms-bodyareacell a:active, .ms-bodyareacell a:hover,
.ms-bodyareacell a:link, .ms-bodyareacell a:visited,.ms-bodyareacell td,.ms-bodyareacell div,
.ms-bodyareacell font
{
font-size:13px;
font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana, Arial;
letter-spacing: normal;
color:black;
}
.ms-bodyareacell h3 a, .ms-bodyareacell h3 span, .ms-bodyareacell h3 div,.ms-bodyareacell h3 p,
.ms-bodyareacell h3 font
{
font-size:15px;
color:black;
}
.ms-wpheader
{
background-color:#e9e9e9;
}
2. Save your CSS file. In this case, I am calling as custom2.css and saving this file in style library
3. Open your master page and add a reference to your new custom2.css file
4. Now go back to your SharePoint page and edit. You will see your default font is changed to what ever you specified in your CSS
This is how you can change SharePoint 2010 default font to something you like.
