0 Evernote Staff Jay-Bob 127 Posted October 30, 2019 Evernote Staff Share Posted October 30, 2019 On 10/3/2019 at 6:26 AM, Kissoh said: I just started evaluating Evernote basic. Wanted to get to know the software before subscribing. Not being able to highlight (turning the background pale yellow is not highliting, in my opinion) is one of those hard dealbreakers for me. It does not matter how a program excels in other areas if basic functionality is missing. That fact that the staff cannot even understand why highlighting could be a crucial function in note software boggles me. And the fact that this is not fixed after six years tells me to start evaluating other software. @Kissoh Hi there, have you been able to try the Beta Editor on the new Evernote Web experience? This now has multiple highlighter colors. If you use Chrome or Safari in the lower right corner of the note editor you should see a "Beta Editor" badge to use this new feature. If you use Firefox on the new Evernote Web, you'll already be using the Beta Editor and should have access to this feature. No estimate on when to expect the Beta Editor to be available on other Evernote apps, but for the time being any highlighter color applied on the web will sync and display on all your other Evernote apps. Thank you for your patience and passion! Link to comment
0 Chan 2 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 As I've stated elsewhere, it is nice to see some additional colors, but I prefer to have some bright, primary colors if we only get a handful. The pastel shades currently in the beta are not sufficient. So I am basically agreeing with Kissoh.

It's a standard feature in other comparable software — and it has been so for a long time now. What's taking so long! It’s there. Go to the new Evernote Web (in beta) and you can choose highlighter colors. I believe this will come to the desktop apps at the next update, but the next update of desktop apps seems to be taking longer than usual. But at least the web version proves the feature exists now. 1 Link to comment

I have been requesting a feature for 7 years - the ability to clear the date on a reminder - which seems simple (to me), but probably won't be prioritized vs. the re-platforming they are doing.

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 6,713 Posted April 24, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted April 24, 2020 If you want multicolor highlighter use the new editor in the web client. This is the beta for the new editor that is under development for all clients. And if it really ridicules you, you can add your own money to cover the development cost. Just upgrade to Premium - and when you are paying, you can start to be emotionally agitated by all the shortcomings. Currently you are only ridiculing, but not contributing. 1 Link to comment
0 YZY 2 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It's 2020. Evernote. Why hasn't this been implemented? Planning on cancelling my subscription if this doesn't happen and will tell everyone else I know to do the same. Seriously disappointed with Evernote over what should be a simple fix. DO BETTER. Note I DO pay for premium so @PinkElephant I am paying for my voice to be heard. 1 Link to comment

What is the point of a native application if I have to go to the web to get the features I want? A better answer would be to point out that the new native client has multiple highlight colours.

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 6,713 Posted February 12, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted February 12, 2021 To understand this thread, one must look at when the feature was released for which platform. It was first available on the web client (which was the testing ground for many v10-features). Then it was rolled out to the clients - whenever v10 was released, the client for that platform gained ighlighter color support. However nearly everybody was so underwhelmed with the initial v10 clients that we probably forgot the cheers, trumpets and hurrays for the highlighter colors advent. Link to comment
0 ddharma 0 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 More font colors please I've searched unsuccessfully for any conversation on the dearth of available colors. This plus the constrained font choices results in dealbreaker limitations. I've been a longtime paid user and cheerleader. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 6,713 Posted September 21, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted September 21, 2022 You can ask for everything. Just as a remark: This thread is about the color of the highlighter - not of the fonts. Personally I doubt EN will change anything at the editor - which is at the heart of the new clients. At least we have now used the new editor for 2 years, and obviously it does fit what it was designed: Easy creation and editing of simple notes, with a limited and for all clients identical set of features. So I think you need to accept the editor as it is, or switch to another solution. The most colorful workaround is probably to use a different program, and save the output into EN. 1 Link to comment
0 G-Manee 0 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm partially colour blind, the pastel colours available for the highlighter all look the same to me, I've had to resort to changing the colour of the text to be able to differentiate the colours, however I would prefer to be able to use the highlighter as it looks cleaner, and makes it easier to read.

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
