In L7 we could set a default icon/color which would persist even after an icon was changed on a new note. I do see advantages to the current approach of remembering the most recent styling per note type... but it doesn't quite "cut it."
I'd like to suggest:
- Make this remember "per Notebook". The latest style for No Notebook would essentially serve as the global memory (which the first note in a new Notebook would pull from).
- Further divide the per-type distinction into 4 categories:
- Highlights
- Unanchored Notes
- Reference Anchored Notes
- Selection Anchored Notes
I'd say that the per notebook distinction is the more important, but I'd like to see both of these incorporated.
