Feature request: note colors

Open tukkek opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Currently notes are the same color as the board background. Adding the possibility to organize notes by selecting their color would be a great addition to the package, since that's relatively easy to do and lets each user select how they wish to use colors on their own workflows and scenarios.

Ideally there would be a "Note Color" option next to (or below) "Font Size" and "Width". For darker colors, the program could either auto-detect the "opposite" font color for maximum readability or simply have another setting "Font Color" and let the user deal with it as preferred.

Having 16 colors or something by default should be a great initial approach, even preferable to having a color picker widget because users wouldn't have to "hunt down" or copy-paste the exact same color for each relevant note. A color picker or palette editor could be provided in the future.

Alternatively, users today can just use the c[text](color) syntax but that is a pain for anything other than the shortest notes, not to mention it can get ugly and hard to read and edit even in those cases.

It would also be very great to have this for drawings. Otherwise it gets to crowded too soon. Thanks a lot

I will definitely add this, but just for people wanting something that works now. You can add this snippet of code within a text element to give it a background colour (pink in this case):

<style>html { background-color: pink; }</style>
