Having font style (bold etc.) in the editor, size and color in the config and font family nowhere is still very inconsistent and confusing. Why not just putting text size, color and font family all in the editor, then? That way you can also use different sizes within the same note. >> possibly allowing e.g. "Black on yellow" and "Red on yellow" as separate >> options > ? What I meant was that you'd not just set the background color to e.g. yellow and then the text color would automatically adjust, but if we assumed some people liked black text on yellow background and others liked red text on yellow background, we could offer both combinations in the color selection. If we allow setting the text color manually in the editor, though, this would not be necessary anymore. Bottom line: We need something more consistent than what you had in mind. - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
