Text color of Comments

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows

I’m using Scrivener Windows ver. (win10)
I’d like to change text color of comments

I know I can change the text color with a double click, but having to do this again every time I use a comment is cumbersome.
so, I would like to know if there is a way to permanently change that option.

Hi Eschloes, welcome to the forum. :slight_smile:

You can change the footnotes’ text color if you don’t mind using those instead :

→ The footnote’s text keeps its color once converted to a comment.

Comments don’t seem to have this ability.
But you can change the background color of a comment with a right click :

→ This color will stick and be applied to new comments until a different color is selected.

Or the text color (but it doesn’t stick – new comments will revert to black) :

Perhaps someone who is good with themes could tell you how to make it permanent… @AntoniDol

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

It would be nice to have the option to change it permanently.

Combined with using the More… Option in the Context Menu would solve the @eschloes’ issue, wouldn’t it?

I’m using the Gray Matter Dark theme. However, the font color is still not fixed.

(why I can’t upload images? an error occurred)

To update the Gray Matter Dark Theme:

Window > Themes > Save Theme to File => GrayMatter-Updated.scrtheme
Rename GrayMatter-Updated.scrtheme to GrayMatter-Updated.zip
Unzip GrayMatter-Updated.zip with 7zip
Open GrayMatter-Updated.QSS with a text editor
Add at the end:

SCRInspectorComments QAbstractScrollArea QTextEdit {
color: lime;
}

Use the color you need instead of lime. :slight_smile: Named colors, RGBA en HEX are all OK.

Delete the GrayMatter-Updated.scrtheme file
Zip the four Theme files with 7zip to GrayMatter-Updated.zip
Rename GrayMatter-Updated.zip to GrayMatter-Updated.scrtheme

Window > Themes > Import Themes… => GrayMatter-Updated.scrtheme
Select Window > Themes > GrayMatter-Updated
Restart Windows to see the colored Comments.

This change is pretty pernament for this Theme. :slight_smile:
