Popular Post chunkit721 25 Posted October 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hmm I counter this problem for a while. It seems to me that I can only change the color of the font rather than the highlight when I call out the "show colors" option under format. Does it mean there is only one color available for highlight at the moment? 24 Link to comment

12 Popular Post Rajesh.Delhi 12 Posted March 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2016 Seems like people who made Evernote, don't use it. Highlighting with different colour is the most basic of things while making notes. It looks stupid on the part of the coder, that he/she gave complete colour palette to colour the text but not to highlight it. Makes absolutely no sense. And even after so many upgrades over the years, they have not included this option in their software. This is height of idiocy. Sometimes its good to look at the competition. Have a look at microsoft Onenote. Its got tons of editing options. The only reason why people use evernote is that they haven't ever used Onenote. I've used both the softwares and like Onenote more than Evernote. Coders at Evernote... Wake up.. Bring more editing options like Onenote has.... 10 2 Link to comment

6 Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,118 Posted March 16, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted March 16, 2015 If it helps, in the meantime, you could copy paste highlight "swatches" from software like MS Word and paste them into a master note in Evernote that you can reference easily. I know, right? Probably not worth it. It depends how much you want it. Frank, thanks for the suggestion, but that really doesn't work. The purpose of a highlighter is to emphasize something AS you are reading it. Going to another app would be way too much distraction/work. It's not like this is something hard. Every other app I have used that offers a highlight tool also offers a choice of colors. 6 Link to comment

This was done in order to better enable us to quantify and qualify user requests, and amplify their voice.

3 MsKelly65 0 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I would also like to see Evernote include choices of highlighting color. I'm currently needing to use 3 different colors of highlighting on one note. Changing the font color is a problem for me as I don't see as well as I used to, and the current "highlighter" color is just dark enough to make the text hard to read within it. I'm not willing to have to sign into another program to bring my Evernote stuff into just so I can highlight it in a way that will work for me. I am going to check out OneNote and what it offers. This could be a dealbreaker for me. Link to comment

2 Hal_Fayju 2 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 +1 Desperately could use this functionality, need to categorise a check list by multiple factors. Changing the font colour just makes it eligible. I wouldn't mind if font colour was sacrificed for highlight colour No offence intendted I understand how software development can be a slow moving process. But rather than blindly changing your app ui style to follow Yosemite making it a stark ugly white box (the iOS app is so much nice to use/look at), how about some new functionality. This thread was started over a year ago after all I will try and make do, but after my premium expires I'll look somewhere else if theres no movement. I do love Evernote. 2 Link to comment

1 cmbkln 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This feature is also not available for the latest PC version. I think adding highlighter colors is somewhat similar to the mindset behind using Post-It colors (somewhat recent team-up with Post-It), so hopefully they won't be adverse to adding that feature. Link to comment
1 Annapolis 7 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I agree and would like the capability. As noted by cmbkln, it supports visual consistency with the "post-its" strategy. Also, it would support highlight color theming promoted in several productivity/memory retention programs. Additionally, for different learners - ADA and non-ADA - the ability to use different colors supports "seeing", comprehending and organizing information. Please note - for many in these demographics, changing font colors actually generates more confusion; the productivity/advances occur and are more profound by changing/highlighting the "background" behind the font (blocks of themed data). Dyslexia is one of the most common language-based learning disabilities (70-80%), representing approximately 5-10% of the US population (with some estimates as high as 17%). As we move away from paper and paper based tools, it is important incorporate similar capability in digital environment for all demographics. Thanks. T 2 Link to comment

1 freyja313 46 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I came up with my own workaround for this by creating templates in MS Word using the highlighting and shading options and then copied from MS Word into EN "template" notes. When I want to highlight something in a different color I copy the row from the template note into the note I'm working on and edit the text in the now highlighted section of the note. Unfortunately you can't select and highlight existing note text with these colors but you can copy the shaded row from the template and then Copy > Paste as Text your existing note text and then adjust the text formatting to your liking (size, color, bold, etc.) Here are some examples: Not quite the ideal way to do this but I'm very happy with my results and not sure I'd actually get anything more to my liking with similar functionality built into EN. I copied my templates to a public notebook if you want to steal them outright or use them as a starting point for your own experimentation: https://www.evernote.com/pub/freyja313/evernote-public Things to note: I mostly edit notes in the Win desktop client so I'm not sure how this will work on other platforms. My notes with the highlighting do seem to render well in my Galaxy Note phone. In the templates, the first row is shaded the color and the font is black Tahoma 10 Bold. The second row is shaded as well and the little boxes are ASCII characters in black. The third row is NOT shaded but rather large ASCII character rectangles with the font color set to match the shading on the other two rows. I created these because I like to use the squares and rectangles rather than horizontal rules to create more visual section separations. The big giant colored squares are images that match each of the colors and, provided you have no other images in your note that will override the size of these, can be used to force color coding of your thumbnails in snippet view. I probably could have made these smaller but I haven't really played with them yet to see if the large size bugs me. (Shout out to GrumpyMonkey for the colored image snippet idea.) When I have time I'd like to make note templates using all these same colors as background colors. If I ever do that I'll add them to the public notebook as well. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment

1 Julie in Oz 1 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think that the word "highlight" indicates what the function should do, however the pale yellow in the Evernote Windows app is barely visible, so it hardly highlights at all. The poor highlight contrast is especially apparent on web-clipped pages which may contain other coloured elements such as images. I understand that some people prefer muted colours, whilst others (such as myself) prefer much brighter fluorescent colours for highlighting, so I would suggest that the solution would be to allow users to choose. Many applications on many different platforms have a choice of highlight colours, either as a list of predefined colours (less useful), or a fully configurable colour chooser. Examples include; Windows apps such as Word, Excel, LibreOffice Writer and even the minimalist Wordpad Android apps such Excel and Google Docs. Web-based apps such as Word Online, Gmail, Google Docs. Evernote already has text colour selection. Couldn't a similar colour selection option be used for the Evernote highlighter? 1 Link to comment
1 leosteeds 7 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 +1 This would be a big help to me as I find my understanding is very influenced by the use of background colours. This seems like it should be extremely easy to implement - for example just a dropdown box if you click and hold on the highlighter tool would do. It is one of those features that I'm so used to using on almost any other software with a highlighter function that I assumed it was my mistake at first. But it seems this is indeed a missing feature, and a very conspicuous one, despite it being requested for over three years now. Link to comment
1 Quezion 0 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Just used the highlighter for the first time. Immediately thought "Why don't I highlight different parts in different colors?"

1 g-murray 0 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I too love Evernote and have been using it since 2012..The ability to 'highlight' is a real need.I looked for a work around and like many on this topic, found that OneNote provided the answer.. Until Evernote address this slight deficiency, I just create the note I wish in OneNote,then,copy and paste into Evernote.. There are many reasons to use Evernote other than OneNote and at moment, it is my preference..Just one last comment,OneNote is MSFT creation and as such synchronizes with Word docs..much more simply..In my opinion Evernote should make it a priority to address the 'highlight' feature or people may switch to other notetakers...

0 aitcdarc 1 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I agree with the other users that highlighting in different colors should be available. I've found a way around it...but it requires formating your document in Word and then pasting it into Evernote. A lot of extra work 1 Link to comment
0 freyja313 46 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hello all, Please see my post here: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/60962-a-way-to-add-brighter-colors-to-highlighter/?p=284914 Although my solution is specific to the Windows client (in that I know my method works there), maybe it could work for Mac as well? Good luck! Link to comment
0 Reality_Stasis 1 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 freyja313 - THANK YOU! I was just about to make a template myself and came across this thread. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this! Hero of the day. 1 Link to comment
0 SebR 146 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 what is a userstyle? there's nothing in the knowledge base about that topic.An userstyle is a bunch of CSS rules that change how a particular website displays on your browser. Link to comment
0 Is this too long? 1 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 +1. I've been on board with EN since there were only 260,000 or so of us, and this is my first post. I tried some of the new products out there, but they always left me underwhelmed. I don't know how hard it would be to deploy, but being able to highlight parts of notes in different colors would be extremely helpful. As a Premium member, I might even be willing to kick in a few extra bucks for the option Keep up the great work!!! 1 Link to comment
0 Sören M. 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You can choose custom colors for highlight and for text with this bookmarklet: http://bit.ly/entexthl - web app only. Link to comment
0 lisec 285 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hmm. Slightly off topic, but freyja313 it is odd that your link to your public notebook still works. I was told by customer support that they have removed the ability to make a notebook public when i noticed that my link was no longer working. You can see my comments and Support's response here: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/65731-sharing-notebook-with-a-public-link/?locale=en Link to comment
0 lhb 66 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Does it mean there is only one color available for highlight at the moment? That’s correct. On a related note, I do get inconsistencies in the highlight colors: I highlighted on iPad I view on MAC Now I see the faded-orange highlight color from the iPad version in MAC. If I rehighlight on MAC, I get the banana-yellow color. Today, using all the latest versions. Link to comment
0 Popular Post darvil 55 Posted January 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2015 Please introduce different colors highlight! In previous versions of the software - before the highlight button was inserted - I was able to highlight in different colors by using Mac's text contextual menu. Now it's impossible... Please introduce this option, its helpfulness is crucial! Thanks, dario 54 1 Link to comment

0 fast_learner 1 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 +1. Shocked that this is not yet incorporated given the rich functionality throughout the rest of the application. 1 Link to comment
0 jod82 1 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 +1. Please add this basic feature already. 1 Link to comment
0 Alison Lee 1 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 First time here in the forums, and I have no idea if suggestions here translate to implementation in future iterations, but +1 for me as well. I use Evernote (Premium) for a variety of things, and one feature I'd really love would be multiple highlighter colors - yellow is fine for "in progress", red would be nice for "work needed", and green would be great for "finished". 1 Link to comment
0 lhb 66 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 It seems that this has been introduced. Still trying to find out how the feature worksHighlighting on the iPad gives me some kind of orange colorHighlighting on the Mac version gives me light yellow color.I'm still struggling with it. But highlight on the iPad to get orange highlights, then on the Mac to add your light yellow highlights. It even turns up in the web version with the mixed colors. Link to comment
0 Innokenty Andreev 1 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 First time commenting on this. +100 for different colours of highlighter. I am using Evernote everyday and working with large texts, so i need this feature a badly. Evernote's team made the first move - with different colors of text. Time for highlighter now. 1 Link to comment

Hmm I counter this problem for a while.
It seems to me that I can only change the color of the font rather than the highlight when I call out the "show colors" option under format.
Does it mean there is only one color available for highlight at the moment?

Seems like people who made Evernote, don't use it. Highlighting with different colour is the most basic of things while making notes. It looks stupid on the part of the coder, that he/she gave complet
