how can I change the background color for only one text?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am aware that I can change the background color of texts in settings, which I appreciate. However, is there any way to only change the background color for a specific text? There doesn't appear to be, but I would just like to check if I am missing something.

I often have multiple English texts open at the same time, and I have historically changed the background for one of the resources and not the other in order to keep the texts distinct.

If I can't change the background color per text, does anyone have an idea how I could accomplish what I am trying to do?

Not really. I keep my tool backgrounds different from texts, but texts all the same background unfortunately.

Hi @DMB,

Thanks for letting me know. I don't know if you still use Accordance at all, but I really love how each text can have its own color, and also, that the variety of colors are all distinct and usable. Here it is really only black, white, and gray, apart from a random paper which is frankly pretty opaque. Thanks for letting me know though.

It's been requested off and on. With my evil sense of humor, FL doesn't like 'users' messing up their refined, and highly delectable UI, with … 'colors'. They made the big mistake of a cornucopia of colors for highlights, and the 'users' did not disappoint. KSFJ was the leader of the band.

Hi @DMB,

Thanks for letting me know, and it had in fact caught my attention how dramatic the highlights can get, while the background options are so limited. I hope this is improved not just for the need I have, but it would help a lot of people from an accessibility standpoint too. Various shades of yellow and other pastels can be helpful to prevent eye strain, but gray generally isn't.
