Description Bear 2017-10-12 09:07:14 UTC
Hello,
Problems with the Revision Tools : impossible to change colors of the different tools (frame, underline...) which remain gray,and some tools do no function.  This problem didn't exist before ?
Thanks for your help, didn't find the solution in previous questions .
Okular version 0.20.2 Linux x86_64 release 3.16.0.4 amd 64- Debian Jessie 8.9

That's a really, really old version of Okular. I've been able to change annotation colors in various newer versions of Okular for a long time. This is almost certainly resolved in a newer version. If you can upgrade to Debian 9, that has Okular from the KDE Applications 16.08.2 release, which is much newer, and that should solve your problem

Thanks for your comment; what's surprising is that with Debian Wheezy which probably had an older version of Okular than the on with Jessie I never met that problem. 
Since I do not intend to upgrade to Debian 9 by now, are we to understand that there is no solution with Debian 8 Jessie ?

Yes, I'm afraid there will not be a solution for Debian 8. By design, Debian's packaging model results in extremely old, out-of-date packages being used for years, and we just don't have the manpower to maintain so many versions of our software. If you can't upgrade to Debian 9, you might try seeing if there is a backported newer version of Okular that will run on Debian 8: https://backports.debian.org/

I understand, thanks a lot for your comments and patience.
