Description Manolete 2011-11-23 22:22:48 UTC

Version:           4.7.2 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

The notes plasmoid isn't a safe way to keep notes, any error with the file plasma-desktop-appletsrc and all our desktop notes can disappear for ever. Kjots is a nice way not only to organize them but also to keep them safe. Could you add an option to change the color of the Kjots notes plasmoids just like we can do with the "normal" notes plasmoid? It isn't very clear, visually, to have half a dozen notes all with the same color. I know we can change text's color and also adding a background to that text, but it isn't as distinctive as having the whole note's background in different colors, and is way more laborious.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
This is a wish request, not a bug, ergo I don't know what to say here.

Yes, should be cool because akonote is broken when using darks plasma style (white text on yellow background)

Comment 2 Cédric Bellegarde 2012-09-26 09:00:01 UTC

Ok, forget for my comment, style needs to have stickynotes.svgz

Comment 3 Brallan Aguilar 2013-05-31 03:26:07 UTC

I'm using a dark theme and is difficult to see text

Comment 4 Wolfgang Bauer 2013-07-15 19:38:21 UTC

I commited a patch today that the text color is set to black instead of the plasma theme's text color. This fix will be in 4.11.
So the notes will at least be readable if you're using a dark theme.

KJots has been retired for almost a year, all bugs for it are being closed.

Quoting the public announcement
https://kontact.kde.org/blog/2024/2024-07-01-kde-pim-may-june-2024/#retiring-kjots-and-knotes

We have decided to retire the KJots and KNotes applications. These applications have not seen any support or development in many years and are not in a state that we feel comfortable shipping to our users. With the introduction of Marknote, KDE can now offer a modern, well-maintained note-taking application that we can recommend users to migrate to. The latest release of Marknote has gained support for importing notes from KJots and KNotes, so no notes will be lost.
