I use a darkish green colour as a background for ease on the eye, and my new notes and new shapes preferences are both the same … the border colour is set to a pale grey.
I thought this would cause a printing problem but was delighted to find that Scapple seems to be set up to not bother about the background colour and reverse the text colour.
However when I added a background shape, it doesn’t print. I don’t want to chose print background as it will prob print all the background green … is there another alternative other than to make the background shape border black or something ?
That’s a good point, I think that might be an oversight. Basically the shape is using the same default text and connector colour for its default border colour—light in this case, against a dark background—but that dynamic border colour isn’t being set to black when printing, like the text and connectors are.
It looks like you can get around this fairly simply, by temporarily setting the default text colour to black for the document. It will be all but unreadable on the screen, but this will cause the Shapes to print out correctly. Once you’ve printed you can set it back to pale grey.
Thanks AmberV … this is what I had to do - I was just hoping I had missed something and it’s reassuring that I didn’t.
Something to look at for the next version maybe :mrgreen:
and it’s reassuring that I didn’t.
