Highlighter Names 🖍

I’d suggest adding a feature to allow users to name their highlighter colors names. Olive Tree has this and I love it. It allows me to remember my highlighting code such as yellow is general, pink is a promise, green is money, blue is our identity, and some other color is parenting. This is helpful not just in categorizing why I like a verse, it allows me to search categorica for my favorite verses. I love reviewing all my favorite identity verses. Sometimes I need to remember parenting verses. Finally, users will need to highlight a verse multiple times, such as money and parenting. Olive Tree does a terrible job at this. I’d recommend 45 degree angled, alternating colors with wide stripes.

Last, last thing, we have to update how we highligh and select text on the iPad. Olive Tree is better, but still misses the mark. Even Kindle does a sub-par job. I like being able to select the words manually or tapping on the verse for a menu to highlight, copy, share, etc. and with an option to add verses to the the copy, highlight, share, etc.

Mobile app multi-color highlighting could use some improvements, not only with initially applying the additional highlights, but also distinguishing the colors (categories) after the fact. Some of the blended color combinations make it difficult to recognize what the additional color was.

Hopefully the new notes system in beta (which I haven't tried yet) will offer some improvements, possibly via tagging (to supplement the color).

Logos Wiki => Highlighting includes Creating Custom Palettes

My favorite Logos and Verbum application feature is visual filter highlighting that can combine hundreds of search results for simultaneous display (using a variety of colors, lines, and graphics):

Screen shot shows range of Greek verbal expression in English (by highlighting Greek morphology for original language word translated into English). Thankful for free Basic packages including Bibles with reverse interlinear tagging so can use visual filters to "see" Greek verbal nuances in English.

Mobile Reader Apps sub-forum includes threads:

FYI: keeping a thread focused on one issue helps keep discussion focused on that topic.

Hi James FL will not allow us to change the standard palettes that come with the software. What you can do is create a new palette based on the existing highlighter palette within the desktop software using the duplicate command from the right click menu.

With the duplicated palette you can then rename the palette all of the highlighter styles as you prefer, e.g.

Your new palette should then sync with the Logos servers and be available to use on your mobile device next time you open the app. You could enhance this customer palette with the use of labels and KS4J suggested if you wanted.
