  I think if there were a select note color in the vicinity of the select font and font color buttons when creating a new note or editing one, that would be spiffy. Just like black for font, the dark yellow should be fine as a default note color.

  Cool - I'm not sure either (I run ubuntu 9.04/9.10, but want to get the latest version on my home machine at some point).

  I'll be happy to implement notes' colours to be changed independently. Just a few questions:

  * How would you like it to be done, from a UI standpoint?
  * What steps would you imagine following to change a notes' colour?

  I've got an acer aspire 5517; not a netbook but it is a wide screen laptop. That screenshot was my whole monitor (1366x768)
  I just grabbed the 0.41.1 deb and everything is fine; I guess if you make these "different color note" changes I can get them. I don't know who to talk to about things getting into the repos; somebody's doing it though. It's available via synaptics

  No, it's currently not a feature. By the way, 2 new versions have been released since 0.40.1; fixing many bugs. You can just overwrite the files in whatever directory whyteboard was installed to.

  Are you using a netbook? there's a problem with low vertical resolutions as the toolbox is too big. You could try disabling the statusbar and toolbar from the "View" menu.

  p.s. whyteboard is in Ubuntu Lucid? From synaptic package manager? sweet!

  Even if they were created with the default orange and I could change them later. I was wondering if this feature were already available and I was just missing it.
  Awesome program btw; I downloaded it once for windows at work, and just realized that there was a linux version available, right in the ubuntu repositories

  Ami I supposed to see more on the lower left where it says Thickness: ?
  I've got a stock ubuntu lucid install and used the whyteboard in the repos, 0.40.1

  Hi,

  I could implement this fairly easily. Would you like notes to use the selected "background colour", or be an option in the preferences? (otherwise people will be creating notes with a white background by default).

  If I make it a preference then all notes will have the same colour - unsure if you want them to be changeable on a per-note basis.
