Hi ... I need this feature : When a user logins , some articles must be marked with a light yellow to view faster the last changes ...
TWO independent answers:
Solution and answer 1:
My "enotif" - email notification for changed pages and user_talk pages - implements what you want as a positive side-effect - see http://meta.wikipedia.com/Enotif for the whole documentation.
All watch-listed pages (User X has in his/her watchlist) with not-yet visited(!) changes are visible marked with this green label. See middle of page http://meta.wikipedia.com/Enotif .
I call it side-effect because not everyone wants to store his/her email-address in the preferences; however, with this green marker everyone can notice what pages have new contents since the last visit. The marker signals, that an email notification was actually sent out to the stored email address -- but the marker is shown in any case, no matter if an address is stored or not.
Is this what you want ?

Solution and answer 2:
First, please visit the Recent Changes view on the German wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Recentchanges .
There, we applied 2 months ago an NEW icon which clearly indicates any NEW page with an icon .
A discussion was started on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Newpageletter to have this also on the English WP (WE).
Intermediate positive result: EVERYUSER can now edit his/her page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EVERYUSER/monobook.css with this line: #newarticlemark {background-color:yellow;}
See my User-CSS page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nyxos/monobook.css
I think, we need to put this info onto the Meta (I will do, because I started the discussion).
