"Default" icons and colours for note indicators

Graham Criddle

I am using a notesfile to write notes associated with my devotional readings.

I am using a circular icon coloured in orange.

Every time I add a new note to the file I need to explicitly set the colour and the shape of the indicator.

Would it be possible for these to be defaulted to what was used in the previous note in the notesfile?

Graham,

At the very bottom of the highlight palette (doesn't scroll) are the words "Use this style by default." It works for me.

But I agree, it would be nice, if Logos remembered our last used style too, with perhaps a one-button solution for each: use last used style/use default style.

Hi Richard

Sorry, I can't see this!

Can you be more specific as to where this is?

Thanks, Graham

Here's a screen shot. Note that this is taken from within the note file itself by clicking on the note icon. For this note file I've chosen a light grey box with double grey underline (it seems the least intrusive, yet still visible method--for me). I captured all around the dialog box to make sure you can see what you're looking at:

The red arrows indicate what this style 'remembers:' The note indicator, the indicator color, whether or not to simply highlight or not, or if a palette style was chosen, and which one.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Richard - very helpful.

As far as I can see you only get this dialog box (the bit below the note colours) if the note has been created by highlighting - not if it has been created by just adding a note from a text.

I've just tried to apply it and it doesn't seem to affect the icon associated with a note created using the right-click menu on some text.
