  1. It's HD 1920 x 1080. But on that resolution, everything is too small to read. 1280 x 720 is the ideal resolution for me on a 43" screem, but the writing is a bit blurred. HiDPI doubles pixels both way, so you get 4 for every 1. So it gets sharpened up. This M2 Mac doesn't offer that, but it does give 1024 x 576 HiDIP.. This means everything is slightly bigger than ideal, which is fine 99% of the time. I've had to swap to a lower resolution a few times, just for a minute, due to the "done" button not showing on a preferences box or something. I could use a third party app to give more resolutions maybe, but I'll see how it goes. Going back to the menu bar icon, as well as eating valuable space, the other reason I don't like it is the more I have, the longer it takes me to see which one I want. It gets confusing. Again, I have low vision, so I probably have to look harder. And I have the menu and dock on auto-hide as I can't stand it being there all the time.
  2. I sit 6 ft away and have poor eyesight, so I'm using a low resolution. Hence the need for HiDPI to sharpen the fonts up. So yeah, menu bar can get filled. Firefox right now is using slightly over half of it. Some apps use more or less. Numbers uses about 70%, leaving space for 6 menu bar items plus time and date. I use Numbers a lot.
  3. I have a brand new M2 Mac Mini, came out on Tues, got Wed. Ventura 13.2. Delighted to say, by the way, I got HiDPI at a reasonable resolution (1024 x 576) out of the box! Using 43" LG HD TV. This is the Holy Grail, gift wrapped and delivered! Anyway, I sacked Evernote because of the stupid menu bar icon. Seriously?! Installed Evernote Legacy. At first I had some wasted space on the right. I switched to top list view and hide sidebars. Now, the notes take up most of the hight and all the width of the screen just from a single click. Strange thing is I never had either problem before, using Evernote non-legacy and Ventura.
  4. I have this problem, just got a iphone XR yesterday. If you pinch zoom multiple times eventually it will strick. But then as soon as you start to scroll the screen it generally snaps back. Clearly a bug in Evernote or ios, but I've only seen it in Evernote. The font sizes in Evernote on ios are shocking, totally unreadable, and changing the phon'es font size does nothing. Zooming the whole screen is not remotely a satisfactory option. Even the pinch zoom, if it worked properly, is not ideal. Ideal is readable font to begin with. To me this is a massive issue, I've used Evernote loads on a phone on Android but on iphone it's a disaster. I don't just use it for little notes, I use it for planning trips in detail, flights, trains, language, everything.
  5. Woe betide anyone who copies and pastes something from the inernet into a note without doing 'paste and match style'. Your note is buggered forever. You end up with the font you want but 4 lines of blank between each line, or font randomly changing size or going bold. Utter mess, and yes, I am premium. My other gripe is numered bullet points having a mind of their own.. Was Evernote created yesterday? Are we still in beta?
  6. Well it's not ideal and they should fix it, but as a workaround it's pretty damn good. It only takes a couple of seconds to merge a new window. You could eve make a shortcut for it if you do it a lot.
  7. Oh that's no good, you need to try having them as separate windows instead, just double click on the list of notes. I can have two side by side like that. Not for 6 obviously. I have my computer set so if I move the cursor to the corner, all windows are shown. Not as good as a fix, but better that 6 tabs all named the same.
  8. You can't open tabs in a note window. If I have a project, I have a notbook for it. Let's say it has 30 notes. I want wto work on a couple of them at the same time. I therefore want two tabs. I dont want the tabs to be labelled identically! It's STUPID.
  9. Come on Evernote, I just forked out for Premium and all my tabs have the same name! 20 months later.
  10. I've found another workaround, sorta. I've just realised that you can change the background colour of tables in Evernote, so you can make use of that. Tables are very useful in Evernote anyway, but you could always make a whole note out of one simple table element and colour it.
  11. I've found a workaround... 1. Download Google Keep Only kidding, no, ok half kidding, I'm using a Chrome extension on my Mac that changes the background colour, so if I use Evernote in the browser the page is tinted. The Extension is called Change Colors. It's easy to use and tints all your white web pages to whatever tint you want. It's not a great workaround because the website isn't as functional as the app, and the colour changing extension actually hides Evernote's tools! Back to the drawing board then...sigh!
  12. Apparently this feature isn't in the roadmap yet. I would suggest that all of you who need this feature send a support ticket as well on: https://evernote.com/contact/support/ the more we send such tickets the more likely we are to get it added to our favorite note-taking app! good idea, just sent this...
