Description goodposter038 2025-05-26 18:46:33 UTC
Created attachment 181765 [details]
This is the screenshot showing I have selected yellow color but the font color is still black.

SUMMARY
"Annotation color" affects background color of Inline text block instead of the text font color. This is unlike typewriter text block for which "annotation color" affects the text font color only. 
Going to properties> selecting a different "color", also affects background color.
So, now there is no way to change font color of the inline note.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select inline note and annotation color to any color say green.
2. Drag to create an inline note and write anything. 
3. Now the background color is green.

OBSERVED RESULT
Background color is green.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text font color should have become green.

This is exactly how it is supposed to behave.

Oh OK! 

But then, what's the method of changing font color of an inline note in okular? Is it even possible? I can open the pdf in sumatraPDF viewer and then can change the font color of the inline note annotation that I created in okular. And that change is reflected in okular as well when I reopen the pdf in okular.
