electroglodyte 1 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have to say I'm pretty allergic to the complete grey look in Mac OS X Lion as well - it's the biggest (perhaps the only) drawback with Lion so far. And I find it disturbing to see other apps (like Evernote) following suit.When I look at the Resources folder for Evernote though, the colour icons are still there, meaning that this is handled the same way the Finder, Mail, iTunes all handle these icons - some kind of mask is imposed on the icons.Now, I'm not a programmer, but it seems to me that Apple is including this masking code with Lion, and that the Finder, Mail, iTunes and also third-party application vendors like Evernote are making use of this code. Is it possible to find this code and disable this somehow?Maybe Apple and Evernote don't want to provide this simple functionality, but perhaps some enterprising programmer somewhere is up to the task.

pgdahl 133 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 When I look at the Resources folder for Evernote though, the colour icons are still thereThat is because the coloured icons are used when Evernote is installed on Snow Leopard as far as I have understood. It has already been commented that Evernote most likely will not be offering the option to have the coloured icons. Link to comment

AdamZed 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 @gbarry I'm really interested to see what you linked to. I’d love to see the colour toolbar back in Evernote — at least as an option! The different colours help distinguish one icon from the next. Link to comment

electroglodyte 1 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It has already been commented that Evernote most likely will not be offering the option to have the coloured icons.I'm aware of that, hence my musing in the subsequent paragraph that another programmer (outside of Evernote) could pick up the ball on this issue.

Why follow Apple and remove color? Makes a drab, dull, unexciting app. I wish you will put color back.
