I've always appreciated your input in the forums -- thanks for that. I thought that Evernote alumni were given a forum presence that indicated that they had been Evernote staff.

Maybe? I didn't look - I kept my personal and business stuff completely separate while working there, so after I left I just activated my personal acct here in the forums... @Shane D., is it possible to get my profile tagged as an alumni?

hold the phone, "background" appears in many places in the code - need to try again and make sure I'm changing the right 'background' to effect note background color - will try now

Treat it like a web page. How do you set the background color when authoring an html page? (I don't know - I'm a C++ programmer! I stay away from web stuff!)

And in case EN does do something funny with that, author a webpage with a background and import that (via web clipper) and see what the enex looks like...

Welcome back, @dcon -- at Level 1!

Thanks! Kinda sad I lost all those post counts... Oh well! (I actually had to register my personal acct here as I'd only used my EN one before.)

(In case others are wondering what that's all about - I worked at Evernote for 6 years (and posted here as @dconnet). I've since moved on to working with surgical robotics.) My forum visitation frequency will likely be far less than before.

None that I know of. You can try spelunking the registry file; there are a few "UI<blah>" entries, but nothing obvious to do with them.

Last I knew, the fonts are hardcoded into the application. Well, it gets the system font for the status bar and uses that. (I think it's the status bar font...)

use Revo Uninstaller Free to remove every trace of your Evernote (store) installation from your system

The store app actually cleans up after itself pretty well. Revo shouldn't be necessary for that. (Store apps use their own copy of the registry, so the global one isn't "contaminated".) The only thing that won't be cleaned up is the database directory (on purpose - that's why it was moved out of localapps a few years ago).

Personally, I use the direct download version too.

The thumbnails do seem to be a little slow at coming in

Thumbnails are generated (and stored) locally. (At least they used to be! I doubt things have change _that_ much since I left!) I don't remember, but I think the thread they're rendered on is lower priority.

Evernote stores these scripts in an insecure folder (Evernotes/Databases/Attachments).

Actually, they're not stored there. They're stored in the database (the `.exb` file) In order to run/edit/etc an attachment, it must first be stored in a location where it can be accessed. That's what the Attachments are. Anything in there can be safely deleted when EN is not running.

When Evernote is not running (completely not running, make sure no hidden tasks got stuck by using Task Manager), use regedit and manually change HKCU/Software/Evernote/Evernote/EvernotePath (REG_SZ) to point the path you want. It sounds like somehow that value isn't being flushed to the registry.

(If that value is not set, the default is your <user profile>\Evernote\Evernote.)
