I can find no setting for this, and what it does right now is that the intext cite is in dark red. To even be able to lighten it up a bit would help those of us visually challenged.
I looked but found nothing in the settings that seemed to apply.
The actual intext cite:
If you’re using Inline Footnote Text, then use the following. I somehow changed the colour of my Inline Annotations, but don’t find where. Perhaps someone else could prompt me, too.
Your terminology “intext cite” is not part of Scrivener-speak, unless you’re using some form of Citation Manager add-in.
take the inline annotation. Now highlight it all and right click and see option for text color. This will hold going forward until you change it again.
Thanks. It makes sense. Useful for categorising your annotations by colour.
That did it, guys. Thanks. Too bad I can’t change the default for future links.
The “standard” colors worked fine in a light theme but become more difficult if I use a dark background for the editor, which is more kind to the eyes for long-term editing.
As far as my terminology goes, I plead ignorance. How do I refer to citation references intext?
While that worked well, is there a way to change the default color going forward?
Or, could I use some type of symbol (like a ##?) at each citation so that I could then search for the marker and do all the color changes at one sitting?
I cannot seem to find any way to change the default color, so doing them all at once would seem lees distracting to the writing process.
And yes, I am using EndNote as my citation manager.
Since you’re actually using Inline Footnotes, you change the default colour as per my prior email.
The menu choices are File > Option > Appearance > Textual Marks > Colors tab > Inline Footnote Text > then click on the colour button at the right to bring up the Select Color popup.
This option works differently to Inline Annotations, which you can change on the fly to categorise by colour, e.g. to differentiate between Backstory, Red Herring, Foreshadow and whatever else might come to mind.

When I go there the color shows as white, but for intext links remains dark red.
Have you applied the change?
