hi Denis (I'm moving my reply to the xournal list, I think it is a good place for a continuation of our discussion)
Good news. I had some time to kill today and implemented a rough approximation of background for text annotations. Currently there is one option under Options "Background For Text Annotations". If enabled, text annotations have a background drawn (configurable via config variables, including color, color of border, width of border and margin). This is what I did: * added a field to item called textBg (a canvas item). If not NUL, the annotation has a brackground * added a field to UI called ui.textNoteMode. If true, annotations are drawn with a background. * modified code in many places to implement this Currently all annotations have or don't have a background, but it is possible, by adding a new tool (like "note") to have some annotations using this. I am not sure how to do it yet. What works: * Creating them * Resizing * Cut and paste * Undo/redo * Moving (even to other pages) What does not work yet: * The text annotations do not have any information in the xournal file to indicate they were created with a background (it is actually a feature too, because you can enable/disable them easily ;) * It does not print or export them to PDF * It does not properly resize the background when the font changes (probably easy to fix) * Once the option is enabled, current annotations should have a background created. Ideally I'll like to be able to control per note. But this scratches the itch I had nicely (once the printinf/PDF output is completed). I created a branch called "notes" that contains it in http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal It is fairly stable, I think ;) --dmg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
