Annotation selection background colour

[lidds]

My customers are mentioning that it is hard to see which annotations are selected looking at the Comments pane. The issue that I have found is that if you select the comment from the annotations list in the Comment Pane then the background colour changes greatly, in my case blue, see below:

However if you select the annotation from the document, the background colour of the corresponding annotation in the Comments Pane is a light grey, see below:

As you can see this is a little hard to see. Is there anyway of changing this?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

This is a default behavior for all of the Pane selections in the Editor - you can try Bookmarks, Thumbnails etc. You can change it in all of the places by modifying the Theme.xml in the Resources.dat file (treat it as zip). If you change the inactive selection color like this, it will display as the active selection one:

Code: Select all

<color id="ctl.selection.inactive" value="id:selection" />

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks Alex,

I will give this a go.

How would I go about distributing this modified Theme.xml with my product?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

Well, you do need the Resources.dat file with your project - you should just redistribute the modified ones to your customers.

Cheers,
