Most of the available annotation colors in the new annotation toolbar are too dark to be useful for the highlighter tool. I wonder if some of the dark colors (e.g. blue) could be replaced by lighter ones more appropriate for the highlighter. Another option--probably more ideal but harder to implement--would be to show different palettes for different tools.
Yellow, Green, and Cyan seem fine to me with the typical black text. Orange and magenta are a bit borderline, while red and blue are indeed much too dark for this purpose, yeah. Note that you can set a custom color if you'd like.
Yes, thanks, I did notice you can configure the color and opacity, but only after I filed this report!
> Yellow, Green, and Cyan seem fine Don’t forget White ;) I think we can at least replace Orange by something else, on my screen I can’t distinguish it from Red. The typical text marker “neon” colors should be fine, right? Since this is just a list of suggestions, providing different palettes for different tools makes sense to me. If we can just swap two QMenus for this button, it should be easy to implement.
