Level 5* gazumped 12,021 Posted January 20, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 20, 2015 Without a lot of fiddling, no. There are some work-arounds, and this post may have something useful...https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/79948-reintroducing-colour-to-the-evernote-user-interface-with-emoji/#entry337338 Link to comment
Everhope 1 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well that is mental. Evernote supports all kinds of wicked code when you copy and paste it, but you cannot change the background colour. Jesus christ. Link to comment
mrs jones 10 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have a serious long term eye disease that makes my eyes light sensitive. I have my mac running through my TV. It would be nice not to have to stare at acres of bright white screen! Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,021 Posted November 18, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have a serious long term eye disease that makes my eyes light sensitive. I have my mac running through my TV. It would be nice not to have to stare at acres of bright white scree! Hmmn. Not sure if any of this will help with Mac vs TV, but see - For his own use, @RobertJSawyer created a style sheet for the Web (browser) version of Evernote that gets rid of most of the glaring white; https://userstyles.org/styles/110978/evernote-with-less-eyestrain (If you use Firefox, install the Stylish add on, then install his stylesheet.)He also suggested Pangolin Software's free PangoBright utility which lets you dim your screen easily:http://www.pangobright.com/ This should be a simple problem for Evernote to correct - themes and skins for user interfaces have been implemented in many other software packages for decades now, and require very little coding to accomplish. It seems to have been a low/ no priority task for Evernote so far... Link to comment
mrs jones 10 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Cheers, I'm using something similar, an extension for Chrome called Change Colors, that tints the background. I'm not keen on things that tint the whole screen because they tend to lower the blackness of the writing as well. Also I just discovered that you can change the colour of tables, so you can make use of that too (you could even make a note from one big table element like in the pic below). Link to comment
mcstar 3 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Here's what I do.... If you're not afraid of editing HTML, you can use Chrome's Developer Tools to edit any of the html which makes up your notes. When the note is saved, anything edited in the developer tools is treated as part of the saved note ... Pretty cool. In Chrome use the options drop down (Icon with 3 horizontal bars in the top right of the toolbar) and select "More Tools... -> Developer Tools". Find the Tab called elements to show the pages HTML. Use the pointer tool in the top left of the tab bar to "Select and element". In this mode, hovering over an HTML element selects it's HTML in the Elements View. Find a containing Div for the paragraph or header you want to set a background color to and this to the <div> tag : Quote style="background-color: yellow;" Your edited html should look like : Quote <div style="background-color: yellow;" > This will change the color and persist. Be careful though as bad html CAN break you note. With great power... Link to comment
