Managing Visual Filters

I'm working through Dr. Heiser's How to Use Biblical Hebrew in Logos 4 videos. He creates visual filters for nouns, then creates visual filters for verbs with the same color coding. What is the best way to manage these? Does one have to create them each time you want to use them for nouns, then create them again for verbs, etc.? There seems to be some limitation as to the color coding that is practical. Would appreciate any insights about this.

I would use different colors for each morphology type.

The VF allows you to create your own combinations of colors for highlighting, underlining, large text, boxes, brackets, etc. There are also some great VF's already available, but for my purposes, I created a whole bunch of new ones to supplement those.

Try a search on Visual Filters on the forums (try: "Favorite Visual Filters") and you will find lots of ideas. These can be turned on and off and you can also specify if you want them in one resource (which you specify) or in many.

You can have multiple visual filter files, and then turn them on and off from the visual filters menu (three circles): http://wiki.logos.com/Visual_Filter#toggling_visual_filters

What do you mean, sorry?

Thank you to both Ron and Mark for the helpful responses. I checked out the search suggested. My comment about limitation as to color coding was based on not having any idea that the kind of layering of visual filters described in one of the posts was even possible. I was just unaware of all the possibilities.

They really are endless! This is my favourite use of layering visual filter: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/6637/52946.aspx#52946

You can do just about anything when you use a custom highlighting style with a visual filter. See: http://wiki.logos.com/highlighting to learn more about how to create custom palettes and styles.
